(specific embodiment 1-1)

For the specific embodiment 1-1 of the described vibratory delivery cassette of first embodiment, quoted figures is explained its concrete formation.Among Fig. 1, (a) being the stereoscopic figure of vibratory delivery cassette 10, (b) is its vertical profile left view.(c) being the stereoscopic figure of the medicament 20 of PTP packing, (d) is the vertical profile left view of wanting portion of the permutation box 10 of having taken in medicament 20.

This vibration output mechanism 10 comprises: outside plate 11, upper ledge 12, inner panel 13, elastic support member 14, vibrating mass 15, discharge detection part 16, control circuit 17 and indwelling parts 18 (with reference to Fig. 1 (a) and (b)); Thereby the medicament 20 that can make PTP packing laterally forms a line under upright state and permutation is taken in, and discharges (with reference to Fig. 1 (c), (d)) one by one from head of the queue.

Specifically, outside plate 11 (with reference to Fig. 1 (a) and (b)) is for guaranteeing to take in as permutation the casing shape in medicine containing space at the position of medicament 20, and surrounds the two sides at least in medicine containing space.In this example, except two sides, the back side (being the left side in the drawings at the back) and bottom surface (following) are also surrounded by outside plate 11.This outside plate 11 for example can use transparent resin one-body molded, also can cut apart to form each face and be assembled into the casing shape through bonding etc., and it is rectangular-shaped that in-to-in medicine containing space is roughly, and front and back (about among the figure being) is longer.Replenish medicament and whole basically regional opening in order to be easy to above it, front (being the right side among the figure) is open by significantly in order to discharge medicament.This open fwd width for example is tens of millimeters greater than the width of medicament 20, and open fwd height is lower than the length of medicament 20 slightly, for example is 100 millimeters.

Upper ledge 12 be arranged on the open fwd top in the medicine containing space of dividing by outside plate 11 and be about the crossbearer parts (with reference to Fig. 1 (a) and (b)) that extend, thereby prevent before it (with reference to Fig. 1 (d)) with the upper end interference of taking in head of the queue in the medicament 20.

Inner panel 13 (with reference to Fig. 1 (a) and (b), (d)) carries to be taken in medicament 20 and when vibration, it to be advanced, and for making advancing of medicament stable, and comprises and accounts for the most low early and high after rake 13a preceding high afterwards low dip portion 13b small with fore-end.For example; Before the length of the high back low dip 13b of portion fore-and-aft direction (about among the figure being) be that several millimeters and the degree of dip that forms with level are the preceding high back low dip about 15 °～30 °, the length before and after the low early and high after rake 13a is that tens of～hundreds of millimeters and the degree of dip that forms with level are the low early and high after inclination about 5 °～10 °.The representative width of inner panel 13 is tens of millimeters.

Inner panel 13 (with reference to 1 (b)) keeps this heeling condition and trip to be inserted in the inner bottom part branch in medicine containing space, and utilizes a plurality of (among the figure being two) elastic support member 14 to be connected on the base plate of outside plate 11 to keep this state.Elastic support member 14 for example is made up of thin metal sheet or tiny piano steel wire, easy elastic deformation, and inner panel 13 can be supported quiveringly thus.

In vibrating mass 15, adopt and for example be built in cheap eccentric revolving vibrating motor in the vehicular telephone, volume production (with reference to Fig. 1 (b); (d)), vibrating mass 15 be arranged near the inner panel 13 of elastic support member 14 or the back side of inner panels 13 etc. so that inner panel 13 vibrations.

Indwelling parts 18 (with reference to Fig. 1 (a), (b), (d)) be arranged in face of the open fwd in the medicine containing space of dividing by outside plate 11; Head of the queue among taking in medicament 20 is used for accepting and keeping somewhere it when discharge this opening front; For this reason, in this example, the tabular body of the for example transparent resin that is bent a little by the bottom constitutes; Its bottom is fastened on the front end of the base plate of outside plate 11, and main part and upper end be tilt forward.The length of keeping somewhere parts 18 is shorter slightly so that the upper end outstanding under the state that is easy to pick up (with reference to Fig. 1 (d)) of the medicament of being kept somewhere 20 than medicament 20.In addition, fall through open front in order to make bevelled medicament 20, the distance of the bottom of indwelling parts 18 and the lower surface of upper ledge 12 is bigger than the length of medicament 20.And, be restricted to singlely in order to be retained in the number of keeping somewhere the medicament 20 on the parts 18, the front end of inner panel 13 and the distance of the opposite face of keeping somewhere parts 18 only are a bit larger tham the thickness of medicament 20.

Discharging detection part 16 (with reference to Fig. 1 (b), (d)) for example is made up of reflective optical pickocff.In this example; Discharge detection part 16 be positioned at the place, below of inner panel 13 and be arranged on outside plate 11 base plate above; Do not have medicament 20 on the parts 18 and do not detect catoptrical situation, output on/off signal according to keeping somewhere to exist medicament 20 to detect reflected light on the parts 18 or to keep somewhere.

Control circuit 17 is made up of so-called single-chip microprocessor and/or decision circuit, and input is discharged the detection signal of parts 16 to carry out the action control of vibrating mass 15, is moved by not shown power circuit or battery supply capability.Then, make vibrating mass 15 actions when not keeping somewhere, the action of vibrating mass 15 is stopped when having indwelling in the testing result of discharging detection part 16 in the testing result of discharging detection part 16.

For the vibratory delivery cassette 10 of this specific embodiment 1-1, quoted figures is explained its occupation mode and action.(a)～(f) arbitrary figure is the vertical profile left view that box is wanted portion among Fig. 2.In addition, Fig. 1 (c) is the stereoscopic figure of the medicament 20 of PTP packing.

The typical shape of PTP packing medicament 20 is provided with the rectangular plate shape of the teat that medicine containing uses for the smooth one side row of one side; The typical sizes of PTP packing medicament 20 is: the tens of millimeters of width, 100 millimeters of length, thickness number millimeter, the typical weight/quality of PTP packing medicament 20 is tens of milligrams～100 milligrams.

At first medicament 20 is added to the empty box 10 (with reference to Fig. 2 (a)) above open through handwork, the action that makes box 10 at this moment is that the vibration of vibrating mass 15 stops.Then, in the medicine containing space, make medicament 20 pros and cons towards identical, medicament 20 is formed a line towards fore-and-aft direction.Particularly, the medicine containing space of medicament 20 in head of the queue permutation successively is accommodated in outside plate 11, at this moment, arbitrary medicament 20 is put into the medicine containing space and then all can be stood upright on the vibrating mass 15.This head of the queue of taking in medicament lean forward and make the upper end against upper ledge 12 so that its do not fall down.Follow-up medicament 20 leans on it.If they are all overturning-free, then for example the situation that leans forward or medicament 20 gap each other of each medicament 20 change more or less that also it doesn't matter to the permutation state.

Just make box 10 actions in case replenishing finishes.Particularly, to control circuit 17 supply capabilities etc., the vibration control based on the vibrating mass 15 of the detection of discharging detection part 16 is begun.So, do not have medicament 20 (with reference to Fig. 2 (b)) owing to keep somewhere on the parts 18, so inner panel 13 vibrations; Friction force reduces thus; By will be above friction force with the thrust that component produced of the cooresponding gravity that tilts, thereby the medicament 20 on the low early and high after rake 13a of inner panel 13 advances gradually, and the medicament 20 of head of the queue advances to rake 13a and the preceding high intersection of the low dip 13b of portion afterwards; Because follow-up medicament 20 tightens neutrals, thus take in medicament 20 well permutation in the medicine containing space.

Because under this state, continue vibration, ahead power acts on takes in medicament 20, so the upper end is stoped the medicament 20 of the head of the queue that advances by upper ledge 12, its bottom is crossed rake 13b and broken away from inner panel 13, falls down towards open front (with reference to Fig. 2 (c)).Then, drop also by 18 receptions of indwelling parts, so be retained in (with reference to Fig. 2 (d)) here from outside plate 11 or upper ledge 12 because of conducting oneself with dignity.Parallel therewith, on the inner panel 13 of the medicament 20 of the head of the queue that dropped, the upper end of next medicament 20 leans on upper ledge 12, and the bottom of this medicament 20 advances to the intersection of low early and high after rake 13a and the preceding high back low dip 13b of portion.In addition, move to the medicament 20 of keeping somewhere parts 18 and get into the detection range of discharging detection part 16, so; The detection of discharge detection part 16 exports never to keep somewhere to become has indwelling, and in view of the above, control circuit 17 stops the vibration of vibrating mass 15; Thereby inner panel 13 is static, and this state is kept.

Keep somewhere the indwelling parts of being kept somewhere on the parts 18 18 and separate from the permutation state, the upper end is outstanding under the state that is easy to pick up, thus through with point pick up and on carry and then can only take out a plate PTP simply and pack medicament 20 (with reference to Fig. 2 (e)).Then; When it is taken out, be retained in the medicament of keeping somewhere on the parts 18 20 and do not exist, the number of taking in medicament 20 reduces one; But; Owing to turn back to the state after medicament replenishes, thereby begin once more from the vibration of inner panel 13, next medicament 20 is discharged and is retained in from the open front of outside plate 11 and keeps somewhere on the parts 18 (with reference to Fig. 2 (f)).Carry out such action from keeping somewhere repeatedly when parts 18 are carried medicament 20 at every turn, thereby in this vibratory delivery cassette 10, pick up PTP packing medicament 20 plate one plate and can carry out easily and reliably.

(specific embodiment 1-2)

The vibratory delivery cassette 30 of the specific embodiment 1-2 of Fig. 3 (a) expression vertical profile left view is with box 10 differences of above-mentioned specific embodiment 1-1, and vibrating mass 15 increases and becomes a plurality of (among the figure being three).

The vibratory delivery cassette 30 of the specific embodiment 1-2 of Fig. 3 (b) expression vertical profile left view, and the low early and high after rake 13a and the vibrating mass 15 of inner panel 13 are cut apart (being divided into three parts among the figure) accordingly.

Single vibrating mass 15 is maximized to realize the enhancing of vibration ability, still, in this example, the bulk article of the cheapness through using necessary number, thus with cost control in minimum.Through a plurality of vibrating mass 15 are disperseed setting on the length direction of inner panel 13, advantage is, inner panel 13 integral body are vibrated equably.

(specific embodiment 1-3)

Fig. 4 representes that the medicine delivering device 40 of the specific embodiment 1-3 of front view and left side view is located at above-mentioned vibratory delivery cassette 30 row in the housing 41.

In this example, 18 boxes 30 are configured to the rectangular of 3 row, 6 row, and any box 30 all can forwards be pulled out to replenish medicament 20 from housing 41.

This medicine delivering device 40 can place separately on the desks such as dispensing table, or with other medicine delivering device 40 stacked or transversely arranged uses.

When various PTP packing medicaments 20 are added in a plurality of boxes 30 and these boxes when being in operating state; Because whenever each medicament 20 all can be retained on the fwd indwelling parts 18 of medicine delivering device 40 seriatim; So; Prescription work person can take out the medicament of wanting 20 with hand seriatim, and can collect by high efficiency.

(specific embodiment 1-4)

Indicate box 10,30 differences of vibratory delivery cassette 50 and above-mentioned specific embodiment 1-1,1-2 of specific embodiment 1-4 of vertical profile left view of portion of Fig. 5 are: keep somewhere parts 18 and be movable member and increased and detect that to keep somewhere parts be the indwelling state or the indwelling detection part 52 of discharge state.

Keep somewhere parts 18 (with reference to Fig. 5 (a)) with respect to fixedly being disengaged of outside plate 11, replace and shake fulcrum 51 by horizontal (connecting the direction of paper in the drawings) and can joltily support.Shake fulcrum 51 and support, in the centre portion of keeping somewhere parts 18, receive and keep somewhere parts 18 near the Local Force Company of upper end by the side surface part of the outside plate 11 that forwards the extends on even keel that grades.Keep somewhere parts 18 and both can together shake with shaking fulcrum 51, also can shake individually, and under the state of nature that does not have external force effects such as operating effort, receive effects such as not shown spring or weight, the bottom is connected to the front end of the base plate of outside plate 11.

Keeping somewhere detection part 52 and discharge same, the also contactless opto-electronic pickup of detection part 16, can also be contact and cheap button switch; No matter be any; All be arranged in the base plate of outside plate 11 and keep somewhere near position that parts 18 connect or its, when butt, output is kept somewhere parts 18 and is in and keeps somewhere the status detection signal; When the indwelling parts separated with outside plate 11, output was kept somewhere parts 18 and is in discharge status detection signal.This detection signal is sent to control circuit 17, and control circuit 17 is limited to the action of vibrating mass 15 when detecting the indwelling state of keeping somewhere parts 18.That is, when indwelling parts 18 were in the discharge state, inner panel 13 did not vibrate.

In this case, when permutation is taken in medicament 20 in the box 50 (with reference to Fig. 5 (a)) of sky (with reference to Fig. 5 (b)), although also do not have medicament 20 herein for the indwelling state, so inner panel 13 vibrates owing to keep somewhere parts 18.Then, the head of the queue in taking in medicament 20 is discharged and is transferred to and keep somewhere parts 18 last times (with reference to Fig. 5 (c)) from inner panel 13, and the vibration of inner panel 13 stops, and keeping somewhere parts 18 only has one to be retained on the indwelling parts 18.Under this state, can pick up medicament 20 as stated, thereby take out more simply.

I.e. (with reference to Fig. 5 (d)) if touch the upper end of keeping somewhere parts 18 with finger tip etc., then keeps somewhere parts 18 to shake, and bottom and outside plate 11 are separated, and indwelling parts 18 become the discharge state.So, be retained in the medicament 20 kept somewhere on the parts 18 whereabouts and being discharged from from the gap that forms between the bottom of keeping somewhere parts 18 and the outside plate 11.Like this,, so after this, keep somewhere parts 18 downwards, then keep somewhere parts 18 and oppositely shake and return to initial indwelling state (with reference to Fig. 5 (e)) if finger is waited leave because the medicament 20 wanted can take out.

(specific embodiment 2-1)

For the vibratory delivery cassette of specific embodiment 2-1, quoted figures is explained its concrete formation.Among Fig. 9, (a) being the stereoscopic figure of vibratory delivery cassette 110, (b) is its vertical profile left view.(c) being the stereoscopic figure of the medicament 120 of PTP packing, (d) is the vertical profile left view of wanting portion of the permutation box 110 of having taken in medicament 120.

This vibration output mechanism 110 comprises: outside plate 111, upper ledge 112, inner panel 113, elastic support member 114, vibrating mass 115, discharge detection part 116, control circuit 117 and indwelling parts 118 (with reference to Fig. 9 (a) (b)); Can the medicament 120 of PTP packing laterally be formed a line under the state of erectting and permutation is taken in, and can discharge ((d)) one by one from head of the queue with reference to Fig. 9 (c).

In detail, outside plate 111 (with reference to Fig. 9 (a) and (b)) is for guaranteeing to take in as permutation the casing shape in medicine containing space at the position of medicament 20, and surrounds the two sides at least in medicine containing space.In this example, except two sides, the back side (being the left side in the drawings at the back) and bottom surface (following) are also surrounded by outside plate 111.This outside plate 111 for example can use transparent resin one-body molded, also can cut apart to form each face and be assembled into the casing shape through bonding etc., and it is rectangular-shaped that in-to-in medicine containing space is roughly, and front and back (about among the figure being) is longer.The top whole basically regional opening of outside plate 11 is so that replenish medicament, and front (being the right side among the figure) is open by significantly in order to discharge medicament.This open fwd width is wideer than the width of medicament 120, for example is tens of millimeters, and the length of open fwd aspect ratio medicament 120 is low slightly, for example is 100 millimeters.

Upper ledge 112 be arranged on the open fwd top in the medicine containing space of dividing by outside plate 111 and be about the crossbearer parts ((b)) that extend with reference to Fig. 9 (a), thereby with the upper end interference of taking in head of the queue in the medicament 120 to prevent before it (with reference to Fig. 9 (d)).

Inner panel 113 (with reference to Fig. 9 (a), (b), (d)) carries to be taken in medicament 120 and when vibration, it is advanced, and stable for medicament is advanced, and inner panel 113 comprises and accounts for the most low early and high after rake 113a preceding high afterwards low dip portion 113b small with fore-end.For example; The length of preceding high back low dip its fore-and-aft direction of the 113b of portion (about among the figure being) is several millimeters; And the degree of dip of formation and level is the preceding high back low dip about 15 °～30 °; The length of its front and back of low early and high after rake 113a is tens of～hundreds of millimeters, and the degree of dip of formation and level is the low early and high after inclination about 5 °～10 °.The representative width of inner panel 113 is tens of millimeters.

Inner panel 113 (with reference to 9 (b)) is swum the inner bottom part branch that is inserted in the medicine containing space in order to keep this heeling condition, and utilizes a plurality of (among the figure being two) elastic support member 114 to be connected on the base plate of outside plate 111 to keep this state.Elastic support member 114 for example is made up of thin metal sheet or tiny piano steel wire, easy elastic deformation, and thus, inner panel 113 can be supported quiveringly.

Vibrating mass 115 is (with reference to Fig. 9 (b); (d)) employing for example is built in the bulk article of vehicular telephone and cheap eccentric revolving vibrating motor in, vibrating mass 115 be arranged near the inner panel 113 of elastic support member 114 or the back side of inner panels 113 etc. so that inner panel 113 vibrations.

Indwelling parts 118 (with reference to Fig. 9 (a), (b), (d)) be arranged in face of the open fwd in the medicine containing space of dividing by outside plate 111; Head of the queue in taking in medicament 120 is accepted when discharge this opening front and is kept somewhere it; For this reason, in this example, indwelling parts 118 are made up of the tabular body of the for example transparent resin that the bottom bends a little; Its bottom is fastened on the front end of the base plate of outside plate 111, main part and upper end towards in face of tilt.The length of keeping somewhere parts 118 is shorter slightly than medicament 120, thus the upper end outstanding under the state that is easy to pick up (with reference to Fig. 9 (d)) of the medicament of being kept somewhere 120.In addition, fall through open front in order to make bevelled medicament 120, the distance of the bottom of indwelling parts 118 and the lower surface of upper ledge 112 is greater than the length of medicament 120.And, be restricted to singlely in order to be retained in the number of keeping somewhere the medicament 120 on the parts 118, the front end of inner panel 113 and the distance of the opposite face of keeping somewhere parts 118 only are a bit larger tham the thickness of medicament 120.

Discharge detection part 116 (with reference to Fig. 9 (b); (d)) for example form by reflective optical pickocff; In this example; Below inner panel 113, locate to be set at above the base plate of outside plate 111, and do not have medicament 120 on the parts 118 and do not detect catoptrical situation, output on/off signal according to keeping somewhere to exist medicament 120 to detect reflected light on the parts 118 or to keep somewhere.

Control circuit 117 is made up of so-called single-chip microprocessor and/or decision circuit, and the detection signal that parts 116 are discharged in input is moved by not shown power circuit or battery supply capability to carry out the action control of vibrating mass 115.Then, when the testing result of discharging detection part 116 makes vibrating mass 115 actions when not keeping somewhere, when the testing result of discharging detection part 116 is when having indwelling the action of vibrating mass 115 to be stopped.

For the vibratory delivery cassette 110 of this specific embodiment 2-1, quoted figures is explained its occupation mode and action.(a)～(f) arbitrary figure is the vertical profile left view that box is wanted portion among Figure 10.In addition, Fig. 9 (c) is the stereoscopic figure of the medicament 120 of PTP packing.

The typical shape of PTP packing medicament 120 is provided with the rectangular plate shape of the teat that medicine containing uses for the smooth one side row of one side; The typical sizes of PTP packing medicament 120 is: ten several millimeters of width, 100 millimeters of length, thickness number millimeter, the typical weight/quality of PTP packing medicament 120 are tens of milligrams～100 milligrams.

Operation adds to medicament 120 the empty box 110 (with reference to Figure 10 (a)) above open at first by hand, and the action that makes box 110 at this moment is that the vibration of vibrating mass 115 stops.Then, in the medicine containing space, make medicament 120 pros and cons towards identical, medicament 120 is formed a line towards fore-and-aft direction.Particularly, the medicine containing space of medicament 120 in head of the queue permutation successively is accommodated in outside plate 111, at this moment, after arbitrary medicament 120 is put into the medicine containing space, will stand upright on the vibrating mass 115.This head of the queue of taking in medicament lean forward and the upper end against upper ledge 12 so that its do not translate into.Follow-up medicament 120 leans on it.If they are all overturning-free, then for example the situation that leans forward or medicament 120 gap each other of each medicament 120 change more or less that also it doesn't matter to the permutation state.

Just make box 110 actions in case replenishing finishes.Particularly, to control circuit 117 supply capabilities etc. so that begin based on the vibration control of the vibrating mass 115 of the detection of discharging detection part 116.So; Owing to keep somewhere on the parts 118 and do not have medicament 120 (with reference to Figure 10 (b)); So inner panel 113 vibration, friction force reduces thus and since with the thrust that component produced of the cooresponding gravity that tilts will be above friction force; Thereby the medicament 120 on the low early and high after rake 113a of inner panel 113 advances gradually; The medicament 120 of head of the queue advances to the intersection of rake 113a and the preceding high back low dip 113b of portion because follow-up medicament 120 tightens neutrals, thereby take in medicament 120 in the medicine containing space by permutation well.

Because under this state, also continue vibration; Ahead power acts on takes in medicament 120, so the upper end is stoped the medicament 120 of the head of the queue that advances by upper ledge 112; Its bottom is crossed rake 113b and is broken away from inner panel 113, falls down towards open front (with reference to Figure 10 (c)).Then, drop from outside plate 111 or upper ledge 112, kept somewhere parts 118 to accept receipts, so be retained in (with reference to Figure 10 (d)) here because of deadweight.Parallel therewith, on the inner panel 113 of the medicament 120 of the head of the queue that dropped, the upper end of next medicament 120 leans on upper ledge 112, and the bottom of this medicament 120 advances to the intersection of low early and high after rake 113a and the preceding high back low dip 113b of portion.In addition; Get into the detection range of discharging detection parts 116 owing to moving to the medicament 120 of keeping somewhere parts 118, so the detection of discharge detection part 116 exports never to keep somewhere to become has indwelling; In view of the above; Control circuit 117 stops the vibration of vibrating mass 115, thereby inner panel 13 is static, and this state is kept.

In that to keep somewhere the indwelling parts 118 kept somewhere on the parts 118 outstanding under the state that the permutation state separates and the upper end is being easy to pick up, thus through pick up with finger tip it and on carry, then can take out plate packing medicament 120 (with reference to Figure 10 (e)) simply.Then; When it is taken out; Be retained in the medicament of keeping somewhere on the parts 118 120 and do not exist, the number of taking in medicament 120 also just reduces one, and owing to turn back to the state after medicament replenishes; Thereby the vibration that utilizes inner panel 113 rises once more and begins, and next medicament 120 is discharged and is retained in from the open front of outside plate 111 and keeps somewhere on the parts 118 (with reference to Figure 10 (f)).Carry out such action from keeping somewhere repeatedly when parts 118 are carried medicament 120 at every turn, thereby in this vibratory delivery cassette 110, pick up PTP packing medicament 120 plate one plate and can both carry out easily and reliably.

(specific embodiment 2-2)

The vibratory delivery cassette 130 of the specific embodiment 2-2 of Figure 11 (a) expression vertical profile left view is that with box 110 differences of above-mentioned specific embodiment 2-1 increased the vibrating mass increase, its number becomes a plurality of (among the figure being three).

The vibratory delivery cassette 130 of the specific embodiment 2-2 of Figure 11 (b) expression vertical profile left view, the low early and high after rake 113a of inner panel 113 also separates (being divided into three parts among the figure) accordingly with vibrating mass 115.

Single vibrating mass 115 is maximized realizing the enhancing of vibration ability, and in this example, the bulk article of the cheapness through using necessary number, thus with cost control in minimum.Through a plurality of vibrating mass 115 are disperseed setting on the length direction of inner panel 113, advantage is, can make inner panel 113 whole evenly vibrations.

(specific embodiment 2-3)

Figure 12 representes that the medicine delivering device 140 of the specific embodiment 2-3 of front view and left side view is located at above-mentioned vibratory delivery cassette 130 row in the housing 141.

In this example, 18 boxes 130 are configured as the rectangular of 3 row, 6 row, and any box 130 all can forwards be pulled out to replenish medicament 120 from housing 141.

This medicine delivering device 140 can place separately on the desks such as dispensing table, perhaps with other medicine delivering device 140 stacked or transversely arranged uses.

Various PTP pack medicaments 120 and they are in operating state if be supplemented with in a plurality of boxes 130; Then whenever each medicament 120 all can be retained on the fwd indwelling parts 118 of medicine delivering device 140 seriatim; So; Prescription work person can take out the medicament of wanting 120 with hand seriatim, thus but high efficiency collection.

(specific embodiment 2-4)

Indicate box 110,130 differences of vibratory delivery cassette 150 and above-mentioned specific embodiment 2-1,2-2 of specific embodiment 2-4 of vertical profile left view of portion of Figure 13 are: keep somewhere parts 118 and be movable member and increased to detect and keep somewhere the indwelling detection part 152 that parts are in the indwelling state or are in the discharge state.

Keep somewhere parts 118 (with reference to Figure 13 (a)) with respect to fixedly being disengaged of outside plate 111, replace and shaken fulcrum 151 by horizontal (connecting the direction of paper in the drawings) and can joltily support.Shake fulcrum 151 and support, in the centre portion of keeping somewhere parts 118, receive and keep somewhere parts 118 near the Local Force Company of upper end by outside plate 111 side surface part of forwards the extending on even keel that grades.Keep somewhere parts 118 and both can together shake with shaking fulcrum 151, also can shake individually, under the state of nature that does not have external force effects such as operating effort, receive effects such as not shown spring or weight, the bottom is connected to the front end of the base plate of outside plate 111.

Keeping somewhere detection part 152 and discharge same, the also contactless opto-electronic pickup of detection part 116, can also be contact and cheap button switch; No matter be any; All be arranged in the base plate of outside plate 111 and keep somewhere near position that parts 118 connect or its, when butt, output is kept somewhere parts 118 and is in and keeps somewhere the status detection signal; When indwelling parts and outside plate were opened in 11 minutes, output was kept somewhere parts 118 and is in discharge status detection signal.This detection signal is sent to control circuit 117, and control circuit 117 is limited to the action of vibrating mass 115 when detecting the indwelling state of keeping somewhere parts 118.That is, when indwelling parts 118 were in the discharge state, inner panel 113 did not vibrate.

In this case, when permutation is taken in medicament 120 in the box 150 (with reference to Figure 13 (a)) of sky (with reference to Figure 13 (b)), keep somewhere parts 118 and be in the indwelling state and still do not have medicament 120 here, thereby inner panel 113 vibrations.Then, the head of the queue in taking in medicament 120 is discharged and is transferred to and keep somewhere parts 118 last times (with reference to Figure 13 (c)) from inner panel 113, and the vibration of inner panel 113 stops, and keeping somewhere parts 118 only has one to be retained on the indwelling parts 118.Under this state, can pick up medicament 120 as stated, thereby take out more simply.

I.e. (with reference to Figure 13 (d)) if touch the upper end of keeping somewhere parts 118 with finger tip etc., then keeps somewhere parts 118 to shake, and bottom and outside plate 111 are separated, and indwelling parts 118 are in the discharge state.So, be retained in the discharge of falling from the gap that forms between the bottom of keeping somewhere parts 118 and the outside plate 111 of the medicament 120 kept somewhere on the parts 118.Like this, required medicament 120 takes out downwards, after this, keeps somewhere parts 118 if finger is waited leave, and then keeps somewhere parts 118 and oppositely shakes and return to initial indwelling state (with reference to Figure 13 (e)).

So, the vibration of repressed inner panel 113 so far is begun once more, the number of taking in medicament 120 also just reduces one, and next medicament 120 is discharged and is retained in from the open front of outside plate 111 and keeps somewhere on the parts 118 (with reference to Figure 13 (f)).On making medicament 120, carry at every turn or carry out such action when falling to discharging repeatedly, so, even in vibration discharge portion box 150, take out PTP packing medicament 120 one by one and also can carry out easily and reliably.And, under the situation of this vibratory delivery cassette 150,, the whereabouts of medicament 120 can come to carry out rapidly through touching the so simple behavior in upper end of keeping somewhere parts 118 because discharging, so become more easy, also be suitable for automation through the handwork taking-up.

In addition, in this manual, " medicament of equal value mutually with the medicament of PTP packing " is meant: be accommodated in the medicament in thin carton or the plastic box etc., and can as PTP packs medicament, take in against permutation.

In addition; The improvement that described second vibratory delivery cassette of the 3rd embodiment is above-mentioned first vibratory delivery cassette; It is characterized in that; Open can replenishing medicament above in the medicine containing space that is surrounded by outside plate, the inner bottom part that the inner panel trip is inserted in the medicine containing space divides so that can carry and take in medicament and vibration, and high back low dip and remainder are low early and high after before the fore-end on inner panel is formed obliquely so that inner panel makes when vibrating and takes in medicament and advance.That is, this vibratory delivery cassette comprises: outside plate, and the side at least in encirclement medicine containing space, open above can replenish medicament, the front is opened in order to discharge medicament; Upper ledge is arranged on accommodation space fwd top, falls before preventing it with the upper end interference of taking in the head of the queue in the medicament; Inner panel, in the above in before the fore-end low dip ground, high back form and all the other ones are low early and high after is formed obliquely, and the trip inner bottom part that is inserted in above-mentioned medicine containing space divides and quilt can be supported quiveringly; Vibrating mass makes panel vibration in this; Keep somewhere parts, be arranged in face of the above-mentioned open fwd, and keep somewhere the above-mentioned medicament of discharging from above-mentioned open front in the medicament of taking in; Control unit detects whether there is indwelling, when not keeping somewhere, makes above-mentioned vibrating mass action, when having indwelling, the action of above-mentioned vibrating mass is stopped, and keeping somewhere parts is movable members, not only can be in the indwelling state but also can be in the discharge state.

And described first medicine delivering device of the 3rd embodiment is characterized in that, any row of above-mentioned first or second vibratory delivery cassette are located in the housing.

In addition, the improvement that described second medicine delivering device of the 3rd embodiment is above-mentioned second medicine delivering device is characterized in that, comprises the above-mentioned arbitrarily vibratory delivery cassette of selection and makes it keep somewhere the actuating mechanism of parts action.

In this first vibratory delivery cassette, to put into the medicine containing space of outside plate and erect and be listed on the vibrating mass when PTP being packed medicament etc., this head of the queue of taking in medicament is during against upper ledge, and a plurality of medicaments can be taken in by permutation overturning-freely.And, in vibrating mass makes, during panel vibration, take in the medicament medicine and advance; And owing to being advanced by the upper ledge prevention upper end of head of the queue; So take in the medicament dense arrangement, forwards release and when breaking away from, the medicament of head of the queue falls to discharging from open front from inner panel in the lower end of its head of the queue.Dump forward slightly and blocked thereupon the upper end of the medicament of mentioning head of the queue again by upper ledge, after this, when the lower end of this new head of the queue is forwards released and when breaking away from, medicament falls to discharging once more from inner panel.

Like this; PTP packing medicament had not only been taken in but also had been discharged successively seriatim through vibration by permutation, concrete when realizing this box, upper ledge be set on open fwd top take in the preceding of medicament with prevention and fall; And if make carrying take in the interior panel vibration of medicament; Then take in before the medicament and then from open front to fall to discharging one by one, thus, the permutation of PTP packing medicament is kept, permutation is advanced and discharge successively and can carry out through vibration; Even it is also passable that weighing parts or force application part are not set, thereby mechanism becomes simple.For this reason, can realize that permutation is taken in PTP packing medicament etc. and from the reliable simple and easy vibratory delivery cassette of discharging of this head of the queue.

Like this; A medicament and permutation are taken in be separated and be retained in and keep somewhere on the parts; No matter can simplify this mechanism thus, be manually to extract or discharge with auto-action to take out medicament all can take out medicament more than the head of the queue of directly taking in from permutation the time more easily and reliably one by one.

And, in this vibratory delivery cassette, be arranged to movably through keeping somewhere parts; Not only the indwelling of medicament can be carried out but also the discharge of medicament can be carried out; Thus, much less pick up the medicament in the indwelling, can not keep somewhere parts and be in the discharge state and come to take out seriatim medicament through making even do not pick up etc. also.And, can carry out more simply.

Thereby, according to this first vibratory delivery cassette, can realize the simple and easy vibratory delivery cassette that permutation is taken in PTP packing medicament etc. and discharged reliably one by one from this head of the queue.

In addition, also open above can replenishing medicament except the front of discharging usefulness because among the medicine containing space that surrounds by outside plate in second vibratory delivery cassette, so, take in medicament to permutation when medicament replenishes and can easily carry out.In addition; The inner panel trip is inserted in the inner bottom part branch in medicine containing space and takes in medicament and vibration with carrying; Most of low early and high after above the inner panel is formed obliquely so that make during interior panel vibration and takes in medicament and advance; Among inner panel top before the fore-end low dip ground, high back form to stop advance unnecessary acceleration and making of medicament to take in medicament and stablize with constant speed substantially and advance; Thus, even also the vibration of the inner panel capable of using permutation of carrying out PTP packing medicament is reliably kept, permutation is advanced and discharge successively for additional weighing parts or force application part.

Thereby, according to second vibratory delivery cassette, can realize that the adjunctive program that permutation such as PTP packing medicament is taken in is easy to carry out and reliably and stably carry out the simple and easy vibratory delivery cassette that medicament is discharged one by one from this head of the queue.

In addition, in second medicine delivering device,, become the device that can from various medicaments, distribute required medicament automatically thus through the actuating mechanism of selecting and make medicament to discharge to any vibratory delivery cassette is set.And, make the action of indwelling parts through actuating mechanism, as long as because actuating mechanism makes the indwelling parts comprise two states, so even if operatorless device is also very simple and easy.

Thereby, according to this second medicine delivering device, can be implemented in the automatic medicine delivering device that can accurately distribute necessary number when manually extracting the various PTP packing medicaments taken in etc. one by one simple and easy and at an easy rate.

For described vibratory delivery cassette of the 3rd embodiment and medicine delivering device, the embodiment that it is concrete is described according to following specific embodiment 3-1～3-5.

(specific embodiment 3-1)

For the vibratory delivery cassette of specific embodiment 3-1, quoted figures is explained its concrete formation.Among Figure 17, (a) being the stereoscopic figure of vibratory delivery cassette 210, (b) is its vertical profile left view.(c) being the stereoscopic figure of the medicament 220 of PTP packing, (d) is the vertical profile left view of wanting portion of the permutation box 210 of having taken in medicament 220.

This vibratory delivery cassette 210 comprises: outside plate 211, upper ledge 212, inner panel 213, elastic support member 214, vibrating mass 215, discharge detection part 216, control circuit 217, keep somewhere parts 218, shake fulcrum 251 and keep somewhere detection part 252 (with reference to Figure 17 (a) (b)); Thereby can the medicament 220 of PTP packing laterally be formed a line under the state of erectting and permutation is taken in, and can discharge ((d)) one by one from head of the queue with reference to Figure 17 (c).

In detail, outside plate 211 (with reference to Figure 17 (a) and (b)) is for guaranteeing to take in as permutation the casing shape in medicine containing space at the position of medicament 220, and surrounds the two sides at least in medicine containing space.In this example, except two sides, the back side (being the left side in the drawings at the back) and bottom surface (following) are also surrounded by outside plate 211.This outside plate 211 for example can use transparent resin one-body molded, also can cut apart to form on each face and be assembled into the casing shape through bonding etc., and it is rectangular-shaped that in-to-in medicine containing space is roughly, and front and back (about among the figure being) is longer.Whole basically regional opening is to be easy to replenish medicament above it, and front 212a (being the right side among the figure) is open by significantly in order to discharge medicament.The width of this open front 212a is wideer than the width of medicament 220, for example is tens of millimeters, and the length of the aspect ratio medicament 220 of open front 212a is low slightly, for example is 100 millimeters.

Upper ledge 212 be arranged on the medicine containing space of dividing by outside plate 211 open front 212a top and be about the crossbearer parts ((b)) that extend with reference to Figure 17 (a), and with the upper end interference of taking in head of the queue in the medicament 220 to prevent before it (with reference to Figure 17 (d)).

Inner panel 213 (with reference to Figure 17 (a), (b), (d)) carries to be taken in medicament 220 and when vibration, it is advanced, and comprises and account for the small preceding high low dip 213b of portion afterwards of most low early and high after rake 213a and fore-end so that medicament advances stable.For example; The length of preceding high back low dip its fore-and-aft direction of the 213b of portion (about among the figure being) is several millimeters; And the degree of dip of formation and level is the preceding high back low dip about 15 °～30 °; The length of its front and back of low early and high after rake 213a is tens of～hundreds of millimeters, and the degree of dip of formation and level is the low early and high after inclination about 5 °～10 °.The representative width of inner panel 213 is tens of millimeters.

Inner panel 213 (with reference to 17 (b)) is swum the inner bottom part branch that is inserted in the medicine containing space in order to keep this heeling condition, and utilizes a plurality of (among the figure being two) elastic support member 214 to be connected on the base plate of outside plate 211 to keep this state.Elastic support member 214 for example is made up of thin metal sheet or tiny piano steel wire, easy elastic deformation, and inner panel 213 can be supported quiveringly thus.

In the vibrating mass 215 (with reference to Figure 17 (b); (d)) adopt bulk article and the cheap eccentric whirling vibration motor for example be built in the vehicular telephone, vibrating mass 215 be arranged near the inner panel 213 of elastic support member 214 or the back side of inner panels 213 etc. so that inner panel 213 vibrations.

Keep somewhere parts 218 (with reference to Figure 17 (a); (b); (d)) be arranged on the medicine containing space of dividing by outside plate 211 open front 212a in face of, and the acceptance and keep somewhere it during the 212a discharge of the head of the queue when taking in medicament 220 in from this opening front, for this reason; In this example, the tabular body of the for example transparent resin that is bent a little by the bottom constitutes.In addition, these indwelling parts 218 are movable members, shake fulcrum 251 by horizontal (connecting the direction of paper in the drawings) and can joltily support.Shake fulcrum 251 and support, keep somewhere on the parts 218 receiving near the Local Force Company of upper end among the centre portion of keeping somewhere parts 218 by outside plate 211 side surface part of forwards the extending on even keel that grades.Keep somewhere parts 218 and both can together shake with shaking fulcrum 251, also can shake individually, under the state of nature that does not have external force effects such as operating effort, receive effects such as not shown spring or weight, the bottom is connected to the front end of the base plate of outside plate 211.

Under this state, main part and the upper end of keeping somewhere parts 218 towards in face of tilt.The length of keeping somewhere parts 218 is shorter slightly than medicament 220, the upper end outstanding under the state that is easy to pick up (with reference to Figure 17 (d)) of the medicament of being kept somewhere 220.In addition, fall through open front 212a in order to make bevelled medicament 220, the distance of the bottom of indwelling parts 218 and the lower surface of upper ledge 212 is greater than the length of medicament 220.And, be restricted to singlely in order to be retained in the number of keeping somewhere the medicament 220 on the parts 218, the front end of inner panel 213 and the distance of the opposite face of keeping somewhere parts 218 only are a bit larger tham the thickness of medicament 220.

Discharge detection part 216 (with reference to Figure 17 (b); (d)) for example form by reflective optical pickocff; In this example; Discharge detection part 216 and below inner panel 213, locate to be set at above the base plate of outside plate 211, and, export the on/off signal according to existing medicament 220 to detect reflected light on the parts 218 or keeping somewhere on the parts 218 no medicament 220 and do not detecting catoptrical situation keeping somewhere.

Keep somewhere detection part 252 (with reference to Figure 17 (b); (d)) being used for detect keeping somewhere parts 218 and being in the indwelling state or being in the discharge state, can be the contactless opto-electronic pickup same with discharging detection part 216, can also be contact and cheap button switch; No matter be any; All be arranged in the base plate of outside plate 211 and keep somewhere near position that parts 218 connect or its, when butt, output is kept somewhere parts 218 and is in the such detection signal of indwelling state; When keeping somewhere parts and opened in 211 minutes with outside plate, output indwelling parts 218 are in this detection signal of discharge state.

Control circuit 217 is made up of so-called single-chip microprocessor and/or decision circuit; And the detection signal of parts 216 is discharged in input and the detection signal of indwelling detection part 252 is controlled with the action of carrying out vibrating mass 215, and never graphic power circuit or battery supply capability are moved.When then, the action of vibrating mass 215 being defined as the indwelling state-detection of keeping somewhere parts 218 and when discharging the not indwelling state-detection of detection part 216.Promptly; Inner panel 213 does not vibrate when keeping somewhere parts 218 for the discharge state; Be the indwelling state even keep somewhere parts 218, detect when having indwelling discharging detection part 216 that inner panel 213 does not also vibrate; Only keeping somewhere parts 218 for the indwelling state and discharge detection part 216 and detect when not keeping somewhere, inner panel just vibrates.

For the vibratory delivery cassette 210 of this specific embodiment 3-1, quoted figures is explained its occupation mode and action.(a)～(f) arbitrary figure is the vertical profile left view that box is wanted portion among Figure 18.Arbitrary figure also is the vertical profile left view that box is wanted portion among Figure 19 (a)～(f).In addition, Figure 17 (c) is the stereoscopic figure of the medicament 220 of PTP packing.

The typical shape (with reference to Figure 17 (c)) of PTP packing medicament 220 is being established the rectangular plate shape of the teat that medicine containing uses for the smooth one side row of one side; The typical sizes of PTP packing medicament 220 is: the tens of millimeters of width, 100 millimeters of length, thickness number millimeter, the typical weight/quality of PTP packing medicament 220 is tens of milligrams～100 milligrams.

At first, the occupation mode of from box 210, picking up out PTP packing medicament 220 one by one is described, secondly, the occupation mode that makes PTP packing medicament 220 from box 210, fall to discharging one by one and take out is described with reference to Figure 19 with reference to Figure 18.

At first, operation adds to medicament 220 the empty box 210 (with reference to Figure 18 (a)) above open by hand, and the action that makes box 210 at this moment is that the vibration of vibrating mass 215 stops.Then, the pros and cons that in the medicine containing space, makes medicament 220 is arranged in a row towards fore-and-aft direction towards equidirectional and with medicament 220.Particularly, the medicine containing space of medicament 220 in head of the queue permutation successively is accommodated in outside plate 211, and this moment, arbitrary medicament 220 will stand upright on the vibrating mass 215 after putting into the medicine containing space.This head of the queue of taking in medicament leans forward and the upper end is leaned against on the upper ledge 212 so that it is overturning-free.Follow-up medicament 220 relies on it.If they are all overturning-free, then for example the situation that leans forward of each medicament 220 or medicament 220 gap each other change more or less that also it doesn't matter in the permutation state.

Just make box 210 actions in case replenishing finishes.Particularly, to control circuit 217 supply capabilities etc. and make based on discharging the vibration control of detection part 216 and begin with the vibrating mass 215 of the detection of keeping somewhere detection part 252.So; Although be in the indwelling state it gone up and does not have medicament 220 (with reference to Figure 18 (b)) owing to keep somewhere parts 218; So inner panel 213 vibration, friction force reduces thus, with the thrust that the component of the cooresponding gravity that tilts causes will be above friction force; Thereby the medicament 220 on the low early and high after rake 213a of inner panel 213 advances gradually; The medicament 220 of head of the queue advances to the intersection of rake 213a and the preceding high back low dip 213b of portion, because follow-up medicament 220 tightens neutrals, thereby it is good to take in medicament 220 permutation in the medicine containing space.

Because under this state, also continuing vibration and ahead power acts on and takes in medicament 220; So; The medicament 220 of the head of the queue that advances is prevented by upper ledge 212 in the upper end, and its bottom is crossed rake 213b and broken away from inner panel 213, towards open front 212a fall down (with reference to Figure 18 (c)).Then, drop from outside plate 211 or upper ledge 212, kept somewhere parts 218 and receive, so be retained in (with reference to Figure 18 (d)) here because of deadweight.Parallel therewith, on the inner panel 213 of the medicament 220 of the head of the queue that dropped, the upper end of next medicament 220 relies on upper ledge 212, and the bottom of this medicament 220 advances to the intersection of low early and high after rake 213a and the preceding high back low dip 213b of portion.In addition; Get into the detection range of discharging detection part 216 owing to move to the medicament 220 of keeping somewhere parts 218; Have indwelling so the detection output of discharge detection part 216 never keeps somewhere to become, in view of the above, control circuit 217 stops the vibration of vibrating mass 215; Thereby inner panel 213 is static, and this state is kept.

Separate from the permutation state keeping somewhere the indwelling parts of being kept somewhere on the parts 218 218, the upper end is outstanding under the state that is easy to pick up, thus through pick up with finger it and on carry, then can take out a plate simply and pack medicament 220 (with reference to Figure 18 (e)).Then; When it is taken out, be retained in the medicament of keeping somewhere on the parts 218 220 and do not exist, the number of taking in medicament 220 reduces one; But; Owing to turn back to the state after medicament replenishes, thereby begin once more from the vibration of inner panel 213, next medicament 220 is discharged and is retained in from the open front of outside plate 211 and keeps somewhere on the parts 218 (with reference to Figure 18 (f)).Carry out such action from keeping somewhere repeatedly when parts 218 are carried medicament 220 at every turn, thereby in this vibratory delivery cassette 210, pick up out PTP packing medicament 220 plate one plate and can carry out easily and reliably.

Next, describe for making PTP packing medicament 220 from box 210, fall the situation that ejects taking-up rather than pick up out one by one.In this case, when permutation is taken in medicament 220 in the box 210 (with reference to Figure 19 (a)) of sky (with reference to Figure 19 (b)), keep somewhere parts 218 and be in the indwelling state and still do not have medicament 220 here, thereby inner panel 213 vibrations.Then, the head of the queue in taking in medicament 220 is discharged and is transferred to and keep somewhere parts 218 last times (with reference to Figure 19 (c)) from inner panel 213, and the vibration of inner panel 213 stops, and keeping somewhere parts 218 only has one to be retained on the indwelling parts 218.So far same with foregoing, that kind is picked up out medicament 220 as stated, but more simple in order to take out, and can make its discharge of falling next time.

I.e. (with reference to Figure 19 (d)) if wait the upper end of touching indwelling parts 218 with finger, then keeps somewhere parts 218 to shake, and bottom and outside plate 211 are separated, and keeping somewhere parts 218 becomes the discharge state.So, be retained in the discharge of from the gap that forms between the bottom of keeping somewhere parts 218 and the outside plate 211, falling of the medicament 220 kept somewhere on the parts 218.Like this, required medicament 220 can be simply takes out towards the below, after this, keeps somewhere parts 218 if finger is waited leave, and then keeps somewhere parts 218 and oppositely shakes and return to initial indwelling state (with reference to Figure 19 (e)).

So the vibration of the inner panel 213 that is suppressed so far begins once more, the number of taking in medicament 220 also just reduces one, and next medicament 220 is discharged and is retained on the indwelling parts 218 (with reference to Figure 19 (f)) from the open front of outside plate 211.Owing to carry out such action when parts 218 are carried medicament 220 or made it fall to discharging repeatedly from keeping somewhere, at every turn so, take out PTP packing medicament 120 seriatim and also can carry out easily and reliably even in vibration discharge portion box 150.And in this case, can come to carry out rapidly through touching the so simple behavior in upper end of keeping somewhere parts 218 because discharge the whereabouts of medicament 220, become more easy so get off to take out through handwork, also be suitable for automation.

(the 4th embodiment)

The 4th embodiment of the present invention relates to the PTP distribution device of taking in various PTP packing medicaments or medicament of equal value in advance and waiting the required medicament of distribution according to prescription; In detail, relate to and maintain the medicine delivering device of can permutation taking in and discharge successively a plurality of vibratory delivery cassettes of medicament.In this vibratory delivery cassette, can carry out advancing and discharging of medicament through vibration.

Under the situation of PTP packing medicament, though, pack thinlyyer by individual packages; And it is concavo-convex also many; For this reason, even if only picking up reliably that the for example skilled people of head of the queue that permutation takes in carries out also with handwork may not be necessarily easily, and then when making its automation and carrying out through mechanism for picking or adsorbing mechanism; This mechanism complicated inevitable, the simplification of output mechanism etc. is also limited.Even take in the force application mechanism that medicament advances,, but need make mechanism that adsorbing mechanism moves etc. though can save it for making.Because a plurality of kits are installed on the PTP distribution device, so even if the small distribution device single-piece that also helps very much of the simplification of each box simplify.

For this reason, the mode of vibration of utilizing in the medicine loader that looses is diverted to PTP packing medicament, and it is also passable that the weighing parts that gravimetry uses or the force application part of the usefulness of advancing etc. are not set, and realizes that the mechanism simplifying of box is expected when this is migrated.That is, technical task of the present invention is, the kit that PTP packing medicament is used becomes and utilizes vibration to carry out that the permutation that PTP pack medicament is kept, permutation is advanced and the vibratory delivery cassette of discharge successively.And for the PTP distribution device that maintains a plurality of such vibratory delivery cassettes, its technical task is, simply and concrete at an easy rate the realization medicament from each box discharging action, required mechanism when discharging operation carries out automation.

The described PTP distribution device of the 4th embodiment comprises: a plurality of boxes, can discharge medicament or the medicament of equal value that the ground permutation is taken in the PTP packing successively with it; Supporting mechanism keeps these boxes side by side; The whereabouts guide member will discharge the medicament of (the final discharge) and guide the below into from each box; Collecting mechanism is collected these medicaments, it is characterized in that box comprises: outside plate is used to take in medicament; Upper ledge is prevented with its open fwd top and to be taken in the preceding of medicament and fall; Inner panel carries and above-mentionedly takes in medicament and the time it is advanced in vibration; Vibrating mass makes panel vibration in this; Keep somewhere parts; Be arranged in face of the above-mentioned open fwd and keep somewhere the above-mentioned medicament of discharging from above-mentioned open front in the medicament of taking in; Act on and keep somewhere parts and actuating mechanism and each the above-mentioned box of keeping somewhere medicament guide member discharging towards the whereabouts (the final discharge) are provided with accordingly; Detect above-mentioned indwelling parts and whether have indwelling, when not keeping somewhere, make above-mentioned vibrating mass action, when having indwelling, the action of above-mentioned vibrating mass is stopped.

In addition; Described the 2nd PTP distribution device of the 4th embodiment is the improvement of an above-mentioned PTP distribution device; It is characterized in that; Upper ledge is formed with: with first bearing surface of the upper end interference of head of the queue medicament on the inner panel and be positioned at first bearing surface the place ahead and below and with second bearing surface of the upper end interference of keeping somewhere the indwelling medicament on the parts; Make the rotation of indwelling parts pivot through actuating mechanism; Thereby keep somewhere arbitrary state that parts can be in the indwelling state or discharge state, the indwelling state is to keep somewhere taking in the medicament medicament of taking in of discharging (preparing to discharge) from opening the front, and the discharge state is to make this indwelling medicament guide member discharge towards the whereabouts (the final discharge).

In such PTP distribution device, put into the medicine containing space of outside plate and erect when PTP packing medicament etc. and be arranged on the vibrating mass, when this head of the queue of taking in medicament leans against on the upper ledge, can overturning-free ground permutation take in a plurality of medicaments.And, if make interior panel vibration, then take in the medicament medicine and advance with vibrating mass; And owing to being advanced by the upper ledge prevention upper end of head of the queue; So take in the medicament dense arrangement, when the lower end of this head of the queue is released from inner panel towards the place ahead and when coming off, the medicament of head of the queue falls to discharging from open front.Dump forward a little and withstood by upper ledge thereupon the upper end of the medicament of mentioning head of the queue again, after this lower end of this new head of the queue pushes from inner panel towards the place ahead and when coming off, medicament falls to discharging once more.

Like this; PTP packing medicament had not only been taken in but also had been discharged successively seriatim through vibration by permutation; Concrete when realizing this box, upper ledge be set on open fwd top take in the preceding of medicament with prevention and fall, and carry the interior panel vibration of taking in medicament if make; Take in then that medicament advances and fall to discharging one by one from open front; The permutation of PTP packing medicament is kept thus, permutation is advanced and discharge successively through vibration and carry out, even the weighing parts are not set or force application part is also passable, thereby mechanism becomes simple.For this reason, can realize the simple and easy vibratory delivery cassette that permutation is taken in PTP packing medicament etc. and discharged reliably from this head of the queue.

In addition, in such vibratory delivery cassette, on the indwelling parts in face of will being retained in from the medicament that discharge open front, when having such indwelling, prevent the discharge of next medicament.And when when keeping somewhere parts and remove medicament, next medicament is discharged from and is retained in through vibration to be kept somewhere on the parts.Like this, a medicament and permutation are taken in be separated and be retained in and keep somewhere on the parts, take out one by one more easily and reliably in the time of can taking out medicament more than the head of the queue of directly taking in thus from permutation.

And; Through establishing this not only simple and easy but also can permutation take in PTP packing agent etc. and, in addition, the discharging and final actuating mechanism of discharging of indwelling parts to keep somewhere medicament that acts on box is set in that supporting mechanism being above-listed from the vibratory delivery cassette that its head of the queue is reliably discharged seriatim; Thereby automatically from various medicaments, distribute required medicament; And then, utilize free fall to collect the medicament of from each box, discharging, thus; Can be simple and easy and realize a kind of medicine delivering device at an easy rate, it is suitable for taking in advance various PTP packing agent etc. and distributes required medicament automatically.

In addition, in above-mentioned the 2nd PTP distribution device, upper ledge forms first, second bearing surface; Upper ledge prevents not only that permutation from taking in medicament precedingly falls but also bears also to prevent to keep somewhere the preceding of medicament and fall; Thus, only support the bottom of keeping somewhere medicament and get final product, thereby can be configured in face of the open fwd and below being limited to owing to keep somewhere parts; Even keep somewhere the parts pivoted, also can compactly form.Make the also easy mechanism of its actuating mechanism that is in two states even act on such indwelling parts.

To for implement the described PTP distribution device of the 4th embodiment and above that the some suitable mode of the vibratory delivery cassette established of row describe.

Described the 3rd PTP distribution device of the 4th embodiment is any improvement in above-mentioned the first or the 2nd PTP distribution device; Each box is a detouchable so that carry out the medicament adjunctive program and change box; In order such box to be simplified and to be prevented fault, take following structure.That is, possess a certain side or both sides in the following important document, this important document is: actuating mechanism is arranged on the supporting mechanism rather than on each box; And control circuit is configured on the supporting mechanism rather than on each box, this control circuit makes the vibrating mass action, when having indwelling, the action of vibrating mass stopped according to the detection that has or not of keeping somewhere the indwelling medicament in the parts when not keeping somewhere.

In addition; Described the 4th PTP distribution device of the 4th embodiment is any of above-mentioned first to the 3rd PTP distribution device; In order to be easy to carry out PTP packed adjunctive program that permutations such as agent take in and reliably and stably to carry out the discharge of medicament from its head of the queue, each box-like becomes as follows.

Promptly; Outside plate surrounds the side at least in medicine containing space; The top opening in medicine containing space is can replenish medicament; By open, high back low dip forms before the fore-end, remainder is low early and high after in above the inner panel is formed slopely in order to discharge medicament in the front in medicine containing space, and the inner bottom part that is inserted in the medicine containing space divides and can be supported quiveringly.

In this case since in the medicine containing space that surrounds by outside plate except the front that is used to discharge, also open above can replenish medicament, so when replenishing medicament, permutation is taken in medicament and can easily be carried out.

In addition; In order inner panel to be carried take in medicament and can to vibrate, and be inserted in the inner bottom part branch in medicine containing space, when interior panel vibration, take in medicament and advance in order to make by trip; Top most of low early and high after being formed slopely; For the situation that stops it to advance unnecessarily to quicken so that take in medicament and advance so that constant speed is stable substantially, in inner panel top before the fore-end high back low dip form, thus; Even if additional weighing parts or force application part also can be kept through the permutation that the agent of PTP packing is carried out in the vibration of inner panel reliably, permutation is advanced and discharge successively.

For the described PTP distribution device of the 4th embodiment, be illustrated as the concrete mode of implementing it through following specific embodiment 4-1～4-2.

Specific embodiment 4-1 shown in Figure 24～28 carries out comprehensive and specializes above-mentioned first to fourth PTP distribution device, is its variant embodiment at the specific embodiment 4-2 shown in Figure 29.

(specific embodiment 4-1)

For the specific embodiment 4-1 of the described PTP distribution device of the 4th embodiment, quoted figures is explained its concrete formation.Figure 24 representes the structure of PTP distribution device 340, (a) is whole front view, (b) is its right elevation, (c) is the vertical profile front view of wanting portion (is the vertical profile left view for the box monomer) that comprises 2 boxes 310.In addition, Figure 25 is the block diagram of wanting portion that comprises several boxes 310.

This PTP distribution device 340 (with reference to Figure 24 (a), (b)) is divided into 3 parts from the top down substantially and comprises: the Sub-assembly Dept on upper strata, taken in not shown master controller and power supply module etc.; The drug storage in middle level has been taken in a plurality of boxes 310; The collection delivery section of lower floor has been taken in collecting mechanism 344 that the medicament 320 of from each box 310, discharging is collected and the conveying mechanism 345 that the medicament of collecting 320 is carried to distribution openings 346.

On support component 343, (with reference to Figure 24 (c), Figure 25) be provided with connector portion 351, control circuit 352, electromagnetic component 353 and hook 353, can carry out the control of master controller during when mounting box 310 in each installation position of box 310.Although diagram is omitted, also be provided with suitable box snap fastener and cancel system thereof, so that carry out freely loading and unloading of medicament 320.

Box 310 (with reference to Figure 24 (c)) is a vibratory delivery cassette; Comprise: outside plate 311, upper ledge 312, inner panel 313, elastic support member 314, vibrating mass 315, discharge detection part 316, indwelling parts 318; Permutation is taken under the state of erectting, the medicament 320 of PTP packing is laterally formed a line, and discharges one by one from head of the queue.

In detail, outside plate 311 be guarantee as permutation take in medicament 320 the position the medicine containing space the casing shape and surround the two sides at least in medicine containing space.In this example, except two sides, the back side (being the left side in the drawings at the back) and bottom surface (following) are also surrounded by outside plate 311.This outside plate 311 for example can be one-body molded by transparent resin, also can cut apart to form each face and be assembled into the casing shape through engaging etc., and in-to-in medicine containing space is roughly rectangular-shaped and front and back (about among the figure being) is longer.All open substantially for the ease of replenishing medicament above it, box front (being the right side among the figure) is open significantly in order to discharge medicament.This open fwd width for example is tens of millimeters greater than the width of medicament 320, and open fwd height is lower than the length of medicament 320 slightly, for example is 100 millimeters.

Upper ledge 312 is arranged on by the open fwd top in the medicine containing space of outside plate 311 divisions and the crossbearer parts that extend about being, thereby interferes before preventing it with the upper end of taking in head of the queue in the medicament 320.Be formed with at the back back side of this upper ledge 312 (being the one side in left side among the figure): the first bearing surface 312a, take in the upper end of the head of the queue medicament in the medicament and interfere with the permutation on the inner panel 313; And the second bearing surface 312b, be arranged in the front lower place (figure is the lower right) of the first bearing surface 312a and interfere with the upper end of keeping somewhere the indwelling medicament on the parts 318.The difference of height of two

bearing surface

312a, 312b only is a bit larger tham the thickness of medicament 320, for example is several millimeters～tens millimeters.

Inner panel 313 carries to be taken in medicament 320 and when vibration, it is advanced, and for making advancing of medicament stable, and comprises and accounts for the most low early and high after rake 313a preceding high afterwards low dip portion 313b small with fore-end.For example; Before the length of box fore-and-aft direction (about among the figure) of the high back low dip 313b of portion be that several millimeters and the degree of dip that forms with level are the preceding high back low dip (the figure right-of-center in political views tilts) about 15 °～3 °, the front and back length of low early and high after rake 313a is that tens of millimeters～hundreds of millimeters and the degree of dip that forms with level are the low early and high after inclination (the figure right-of-center in political views has a down dip) about 5 °～10 °.The representative width of inner panel 313 is tens of millimeters.

Inner panel 313 keeps these heeling conditions and swims the inner bottom part branch that is inserted in the medicine containing space, and the elastic support member 314 through a plurality of (among the figure being two) is connected on the base plate of outside plate 311 to keep this state.Elastic support member 314 for example is made up of thin metal sheet or tiny piano steel wire, easy elastic deformation, and inner panel 313 can be supported quiveringly thus.

Adopt the vibrating motor for example be built in cheap eccentric rotary in the vehicular telephone, volume production in the vibrating mass 315, in order to make inner panel 313 vibrations, vibrating mass 315 is set near the inner panel 313 of elastic support member 314 or on the back side of inner panels 313.

Indwelling parts 318 are arranged on by below in face of the open fwd in the medicine containing space of outside plate 311 divisions (being the bottom right among the figure); The medicament of taking in head of the queue in the medicament 320 when permutation is used for accepting and keeping somewhere it when discharge this opening front; At this moment; Keep somewhere the lower end of parts 318 supporting medicaments 320, the upper end of this indwelling medicament is blocked by the second bearing surface 312b of upper ledge 312, keeps somewhere medicament through cooperative motion.In addition, keep somewhere parts 318 (turning cylinder is the state that runs through paper among the figure) under the horizontal state of pivotable and be installed on the outside plate 311, thus can two-way pivoted predetermined angular, alternately be in indwelling state and the two states of emitting state.

Under the indwelling state (with reference to the box of the lower floor of Figure 24 (c)), the recess that supporting medicament lower end is used is upwards taken in indwelling and to be prepared in the medicament to emit from the open front of box, and by the medicament of discharge in advance.Under the state of emitting (with reference to the box on the upper strata of Figure 24 (c)), for make this indwelling medicament towards the whereabouts conducting tubes 342 emit, above-mentioned recess is conducting tubes 342 lopsidedness towards the whereabouts, up to the position of medicament lower end landing.In addition, for the number that will keep somewhere on the parts 318 medicament of keeping somewhere 320 reliably is restricted to singlely, the front end of inner panel 313 and the distance of the opposite face of keeping somewhere parts 318 only are a bit larger tham the thickness of medicament 320.

Discharging detection part 316 for example is made up of reflective optical pickocff; In this example; Discharge detection part 316 be positioned at the below of inner panel 313 and be arranged on outside plate 311 base plate above; Have medicament 320 on the parts 318 and detect reflected light or keep somewhere and do not have medicament 320 on the parts 318 and do not detect catoptrical situation, output on/off signal according to keeping somewhere.

Control circuit 352 is made up of so-called single-chip microprocessor and/or decision circuit; The detection signal of discharging detection part 316 through adaptor union 351 inputs is to carry out the action control of vibrating mass 315; In the testing result of discharging detection part 316 is to make vibrating mass 315 actions when not keeping somewhere, and is to have when indwelling the action of vibrating mass 315 is stopped in the testing result of discharging detection part 316.

Electromagnetic component 353 and hook 354 constitute actuating mechanism; For act on keep somewhere parts 318 so that keep somewhere medicament towards the whereabouts conducting tubes 342 emit; One end of hook 354 is installed on the advance and retreat parts of electromagnetic component 353, and the other end of hook 354 bends to hook-shaped and extends to be kept somewhere under the parts 318.Then, when electromagnetic component 353 is driven, when its advance and retreat parts were retreated (moving to left in the drawings), the hooked end of hook 354 hooked the bottom of keeping somewhere parts 318 so that keep somewhere parts 318 pivoted, keeps somewhere parts 318 and changes into the state of emitting from the indwelling state.When the driving of electromagnetic component 353 was removed, the advance and retreat parts were kept somewhere parts 318 and are changed into the indwelling state from the state of emitting owing to the effects such as elastic force of not shown spring are advanced (shifting to right-hand in the drawings), and hook 354 also is disengaged with the engaging of keeping somewhere parts 318.

For the PTP distribution device 340 of this specific embodiment 4-1, quoted figures is explained its running condition and action.Figure 26 (a) is the stereoscopic figure of PTP packing agent (medicament) 320, Figure 26 (b), (c), Figure 27 (a), (b), (c), Figure 28 (a), and 28 (b), they any all are the vertical profile front views of wanting portion (is the vertical profile left view for the box monomer) that comprise a box 310.

The typical shape (with reference to Figure 26 (a)) of PTP packing agent 320 is rectangular plate shape that the smooth and one side row of one side are being established the teat that medicine containing uses; The typical sizes of PTP packing agent 320 is: the tens of millimeters of width, 100 millimeters of length, thickness number millimeter, the typical weight/quality of PTP packing agent 320 is tens of milligrams～100 milligrams.

Empty box 310 is pulled down from support component 343, medicament 320 is added to the empty box 10 above open through handwork, turns back to (with reference to Figure 25) on the support component 343.

When additional (with reference to Figure 26 (b)), in the medicine containing space of box 310, make medicament 320 pros and cons towards identical, medicament 320 is formed a line towards the box fore-and-aft direction.Particularly, the medicine containing space of medicament 320 in head of the queue permutation successively is accommodated in outside plate 311, at this moment, arbitrary medicament 320 all can stand upright on the vibrating mass 315 after putting into the medicine containing space.This head of the queue of taking in medicament leans forward and the first bearing surface 312a that makes its upper end lean against upper ledge 312 goes up so that it does not fall down.Follow-up medicament 320 leans on it.If they do not translate into, then for example the situation that leans forward or medicament 320 gap each other of each medicament 320 change more or less that also it doesn't matter to the permutation state.

In addition, in case this box 310 is installed on the support component 343 box 310 activities then.Particularly, control circuit 352, vibrating mass 315 and discharge detection part 316 are connected through adaptor union 351, carry out the vibration control of vibrating mass 315 based on the detection of discharging detection part 316 by control circuit 352.So; Because on indwelling parts 318, medicament 320 is not arranged also; So inner panel 313 vibration, friction force diminishes thus, by with the thrust that component produced of the cooresponding gravity that tilts will be above friction force; So the medicament 320 on the low early and high after rake 313a of inner panel advances gradually; The medicament 320 of head of the queue advances to the intersection of low early and high after rake 313a and the preceding high back low dip 313b of portion because follow-up medicament 320 tightens neutrals, thereby take in medicament 320 well permutation in the medicine containing space.

Because vibration still continues under this state; Ahead power acts on takes in medicament 320, so the medicament 320 of the head of the queue that advances is prevented in the upper end by upper ledge 312; Its bottom is crossed the preceding high back low dip 313b of portion and is broken away from inner panel 313, falls down towards open front (with reference to Figure 26 (c)).Then, because of deadweight is dropped from outside plate 311 and upper ledge 312, the lower end places the recess that makes progress of keeping somewhere parts 318 and is caught, and the upper end is blocked by the second bearing surface 312b of upper ledge 312, is retained in here (with reference to Figure 27 (a)).Parallel therewith; On the inner panel 313 of the medicament 320 of the head of the queue that dropped; The upper end of next medicament 320 leans on the first bearing surface 312a of upper ledge 312, and the bottom of this medicament 320 advances to the intersection of low early and high after rake 313a and the preceding high back low dip 313b of portion.

In addition; Move to the medicament 320 of keeping somewhere parts 318 and get into the detection range of discharging detection part 316, so the detection of discharge detection part 316 exports never to keep somewhere to be changed to has indwelling; In view of the above; Control circuit 352 stops the vibration of vibrating mass 315, thereby inner panel 313 is static, and this state is kept.

The medicament of on indwelling parts 318, being kept somewhere 320 separates from the permutation state; Remained on individually temporarily and kept somewhere on the parts 318; Owing to free the pressure of the medicament 320 of this medicament permutation from inner panel 313 and the friction force that causes by this pressure, so be in the state that to stablize and promptly to emit one by one.

In addition; This box 310 is selected as medicament through master controller and discharges object; When discharging instruction from master controller towards control circuit 352 when seeing off, electromagnetic component 353 moves according to the control of control circuit 352, and hook 354 is retreated together with these advance and retreat parts; Accompany with it, the crook of hook 354 makes keeps somewhere parts 318 pivoted (with reference to Figure 27 (b)).Forward when emitting state (with reference to Figure 27 (c)) through this pivoted from the indwelling state when keeping somewhere parts 318, the medicament of being kept somewhere 320 enters in the whereabouts conducting tubes 342 from keeping somewhere landing on the parts.

The medicament 320 of from box 310, emitting (with reference to Figure 24 (a), (b)) free fall and collected by collecting mechanism 343 in the conducting tubes of whereabouts is transported to distribution openings 346 by conveying mechanism 345.

So, can automatically distribute the medicament of from required box 310, arranging to whereabouts conducting tubes 342 320.

In the box 310 of the medicament 320 of having discharged; Being retained in the medicament of keeping somewhere on the parts 318 320 does not exist; The number of taking in medicament 320 has reduced one, and turns back to the state (with reference to Figure 28 (a)) after medicament replenishes, therefore; Begin once more from the vibration of inner panel 313, next medicament 320 is discharged and is retained in from the open front of outside plate 311 and keeps somewhere on the parts 318 (with reference to Figure 28 (b)).Owing to emit from keeping somewhere parts 318/carry out such action when finally discharging medicament 320 repeatedly, thereby in this vibratory delivery cassette 310, the agent 320 of PTP packing is discharged rapidly and reliably one by one automatically at every turn.In addition, in PTP distribution device 340, can take in various PTP packing agent 320 in advance, and from wherein distributing required medicament automatically.

(specific embodiment 4-2)

For the PTP distribution device of specific embodiment 4-2, quoted figures is explained its concrete formation.Figure 29 is the vertical profile left view of box 310.

The device difference of this PTP distribution device and above-mentioned specific embodiment 4-1 is, the inner panel 313 in the box 310 and the concrete formation of vibrating mass 315.

That is, difference is: in box 310, vibrating mass 315 increases and becomes a plurality of (among the figure being three); And the low early and high after rake 313a of inner panel 313 is cut apart corresponding to vibrating mass 315.

Maximize for the enhancing that realizes vibration ability can make single vibrating mass 315, and in this example, the bulk article of the cheapness through adopting required number with cost control in minimum.Through the length direction of a plurality of vibrating mass 315 at inner panel 313 disperseed to be provided with, advantage is to make inner panel 313 integral body to vibrate equably.

In addition, the configuration of box 310 is not limited to above-mentioned rectangular orthogonal configuration, for example also can be the cylindric configuration as the collecting storage facility of patent documentation 2.

In addition, in above-mentioned each specific embodiment, control circuit 352, be installed on the support component 343 as the electromagnetic component 353 and the hook 354 of actuating mechanism, still, they also can be installed on the box 310.For example, can be installed on the base plate in the outside plate 311, through adaptor union 351 power supplies.

In addition, in above-mentioned each specific embodiment, when PTP packs in the medicine containing space of agent permutation at box; The pros and cons of PTP packing agent is all towards same direction; But and so nonessential, if do not damage the permutation state, the agent of the PTP that can forget it packing positive and negative towards.

And; In above-mentioned each specific embodiment, can from box, take out medicament one by one, but the present invention is not limited thereto; For example; Can be that one group or three plates are that a plurality of medicaments such as a group concentrate in together taking-up with two plates, specifically, the distance through front end that enlarges inner panel and the opposite face of keeping somewhere parts just can easily realize.

(the 5th embodiment)

The 5th embodiment of the present invention relates to the drug class accommodation device in medicine accommodation device, Drug shelf, dispensing table, medical instrument storage storehouse etc.; Specifically; Relate to the drug class accommodation device; It has a plurality of/majority can take out/put into the accommodating container of drug classes such as pharmaceuticals, medical material with staff, and can therefrom take out drug class selectively according to the drug class information provision.

Take in object and be not limited only to drug class,, also can enumerate out incorporating section for example and be being separated into a plurality of chambers and each chamber the locker commonly used of door or article platform that equipment is used etc. all are housed as the exemplary that has respectively the collecting storage facility of taking care of function.

When taking in object and being drug class, the medicine permutation of ampulla etc. is accommodated in the box and can be singly to touch the medicine accommodation device known (for example with reference to patent documentation 6) that mode picks and places.This device can also guide demonstration with LED etc. to the position as the box that picks and places object.

In addition, through making the luminous Drug shelf also known (as with reference to patent documentation 7) that takes out the position indication of object of the bottle of having taken in diffusing medicine.

In addition, do not need the indication of this position and medicine accommodation device yet known (with reference to patent documentation 5) that door or drawer box can be opened greatly.This device be owing to except the selection of the drug class in can carrying out respectively taking care of, can also start work automatically, thereby the position of desirable drug class becomes very clear, is in the state that can take out this drug class simultaneously, thereby obtains extensive favorable comment.

In addition; Because cognitive its convenience; That is, take care of numerous drug classes in advance respectively, even also can carry out the selection of object and the convenience of on-off action automatically with manual taking-up; Thereby produced the demand of hoping enlarging application range, for example to both comprising that the high drug class of frequency of utilization comprises that also the multiple drug class of the drug class that frequency of utilization is low handles.

But, in drug class accommodation device in the past, open the big open-and-shut degree that arrives in order to make drawer box, open and adopted the special organization that is combined to form by permanent magnet and magnet coil in the driver train, thereby be difficult to reduce the unit price of opening driver train.

For this reason, for example, arrange a plurality of little drawers in length and breadth, also than increased in the past, the number of opening driver train also increases same number to the number of accommodating container, thereby has improved the price of device.Even if the unit price of accommodating container reduces through miniaturization, do not extract the distance of advancing on the direction out if do not change, just drive distance, also can't reduce out the cost of driver train.

Like this, reduce in order to realize cost, shortening the driving distance of opening driver train is a shortcut, like this, can wait with for example bulk article and cheap motor or cam to constitute out driver train.

And; After opening the driving reduced distances of driver train; Take out the work that starts of object, even the advancing of accommodating container in just taking in as the drug class of object can automatically carry out, its accommodating container also cannot say for sure enough eye-catching; Thereby also need again the position of taking out object to be indicated, the cost increase that brings has thus been offset the cost of opening driver train and has been descended.

For the indication of taking out object's position; Also having through the shared luminous component of arranging in length and breadth makes the necessary number of luminous component lack than accommodating container; Thereby the way of cost-cutting (for example with reference to patent documentation 6 Figure 11), in method in the past, accommodating container is not luminous respectively yet.

On the other hand; Have under the situation about disposing one to one the Fig. 5 or the patent documentation 7 of patent documentation 6 (for example with reference to) with the luminous component of accommodating container same number and with accommodating container; Because accommodating container is luminous respectively, though visual higher, but be difficult to cost-cutting.

Therefore; Technical task of the present invention is; Carry out following improvement for the cost that reduces the drug class accommodation device: when the driving distance of driver train is opened in shortening; The number that suppresses luminous component is less than accommodating container, even and utilize to shorten and drive distance and also can keep advancing automatically of accommodating container, even and the luminous component number also can make accommodating container luminous respectively less.

The described first drug class accommodation device of the 5th embodiment has: a plurality of accommodating containers of accommodating drug class; Storehouse portion arranges in length and breadth under extraction state forwards and keeps these accommodating containers; A plurality of driver trains of opening; Be configured in the accommodating container rear respectively and cooresponding accommodating container is advanced, it is characterized in that the driving of opening driver train is apart from weak point; And be provided with and send light parts (luminous component); See light off, form or be provided with visual device respectively, make its directed forward after sending light when receiving at the leading section of each accommodating container through a plurality of accommodating containers the place ahead in the accommodating container that is in fallback state.

Here; " it is short to drive distance " means out when driver train advances cooresponding accommodating container; Its advance is that the length of fore-and-aft direction is shorter than the depth of accommodating container; Half the less than this length preferably more preferably, is as short as the length of the related fore-and-aft direction of the part that is identified as leading section in the accommodating container.

In addition, the described second drug class accommodation device of the 5th embodiment is the improvement of the above-mentioned first drug class accommodation device, it is characterized in that out that driver train comprises motor and is installed in the eccentric cam on the motor shaft.

In addition; Described the 3rd drug class accommodation device of the 5th embodiment is any the improvement of above-mentioned first and second drug class accommodation device; The header board that it is characterized in that accommodating container is transparent, is formed with the dip plane in its dead aft, and visual device is the label that places on the dip plane.

In addition; Described the 4th drug class accommodation device of the 5th embodiment is any the improvement of above-mentioned first to the 3rd drug class accommodation device; Wherein, The base plate of accommodating container is opaque, send the light parts send the light purpose to be located in to be provided with light receiving component, to receive the state of light to judge the extraction state of accommodating container according to it.

In the first such drug class accommodation device; When being chosen as the accommodating container that takes out object through cooresponding when opening driver train and advancing automatically; Portion highlights the leading section of its accommodating container from the storehouse; Its leading section receives from sending the irradiation of the light that the light parts send, and this light turns to the place ahead by visual device, and is therefore luminous as the accommodating container that takes out object.Too, accommodating container was luminous respectively when other accommodating containers became the taking-up object.But; Send the light parts owing to facing shared one of the identical accommodating container that send light to dispose; Such accommodating container is can not a plurality of whiles luminous, if therefore avoid situation about must use like this, does not also have inconvenience even then send the number of light parts to lack than the number of accommodating container.

Through introducing known light guide member (with reference to patent documentation 7), suitable reflection part, scattering part; Perhaps through the surface that forms reflecting surface or scattering surface is handled, the visual device that the change direction of light makes it to discern easily can be than sending the light parts to realize more at an easy rate.

Therefore; According to the first such drug class accommodation device, when opening the driving reduced distances of driver train, can be through making each accommodating container luminous respectively with the light parts that send that lack than accommodating container; Can when keeping convenience, reduce the cost of drug class accommodation device thus.

In addition, in the second above-mentioned drug class accommodation device, it is characterized in that, open driver train and have motor and be installed in the eccentric cam on the motor shaft.

In this case, if drive the driver train of opening of distance weak point, then can wait and realize that sufficient cost reduces through the bulk article that uses market sale.

In addition, in above-mentioned the 3rd drug class accommodation device, realize visual device through placing labels on the in-to-in dip plane of accommodating container.

In this case, the label for visual device of holding concurrently adopts surface energy to make the tabular body of light reflection and scattering, because this is so long as the general paper that turns white etc. are just passable, and therefore can be easy, realize cheaply.In addition, if the big luminous element of luminosity is cheap, then through reducing the reflectivity of visual device, make a part of light transmission, such improvement of keeping straight on again can realize that also the above-mentioned a plurality of accommodating containers that send light to share are simultaneously luminous.

In addition, in above-mentioned the 4th drug class accommodation device, send light, on the other hand, do not cover if accommodating container retreats in the portion of storehouse and to send light when accommodating container covers when portion is outstanding from the storehouse.

Whether like this, the light state that receives of light receiving component changes according to whether accommodating container is outstanding, receive light state can differentiate advancing automatically of accommodating container automatically and manually push back to accomplish according to light receiving component.And, since with send the light parts identical, light receiving component is also shared by a plurality of accommodating containers, so light receiving component also lacks than accommodating container.

For the described drug class accommodation device of the 5th such embodiment, come the concrete mode of implementing it is described through following specific embodiment 5-1 to 5-3.

(the 6th embodiment)

The 6th embodiment of the present invention relates to the PTP distribution device of except taking in various PTP packing medicaments or medicament of equal value, also taking in other drug classes and waiting the required medicament of distribution according to prescription; In detail; Relate to the PTP distribution system; In this system, be set side by side with automatic PTP distribution device and automanual system drug class accommodation device; Wherein automatically the PTP distribution device maintains that permutation is taken in and discharges a plurality of boxes of medicament successively, and that automanual system drug class accommodation device has is a plurality of/most telescopic accommodating containers that can enough hand access drug classes.

In addition, in this manual, " PTP packing medicament or medicament of equal value " is meant, is accommodated in the medicament in thin paper case or the plastic casing etc., can resemble can stand up the PTP packing medicament and permutation is taken in.In addition, in " drug class ", except above-mentioned medicament, also comprise other pharmaceuticals and medical material etc.

Under situation for PTP packing medicament; Though by individual packages; But pack thinly and concavo-convex also many, even thereby only win reliably that head of the queue such as skilled person that permutation takes in carries out with handwork also may not be necessarily easy, and when making its automation and being undertaken by mechanism for picking or adsorbing mechanism; The complicated of this mechanism also can't avoid, and be also limited aspect the simplification of output mechanism etc.Even take in the force application mechanism that medicament advances for making, though can save it, replace, but need make mechanism that adsorbing mechanism moves etc.Because a plurality of kits are installed in the PTP distribution device, even if thereby the small distribution device single-piece that also will help very much of the simplification of each box simplify.

Therefore; The mode of vibration of using on the medicine loader that looses is diverted to PTP packing medicament; Simultaneously when migrating this mode, even it is also passable that the force application part etc. of gravimetry the weighing parts of using and the usefulness of advancing is not set, the mechanism simplifying of realizing box with cost reduction can expect.That is, the basic fundamental problem of PTP distribution device does, PTP packed kit that medicament uses make the vibratory delivery cassette that can carry out that the permutation that PTP packs medicament keeps, permutation is advanced and discharge successively with mode of vibration.The further technical task of PTP distribution device does, for the automatic PTP distribution device that keeps a plurality of such vibratory delivery cassettes, also will be simply and be implemented at an easy rate make medicament from each box emit action/discharging operation automation the time required mechanism.

On the other hand; If from semi-automatic drug class accommodation device, because cognitive its convenience, promptly; Take care of numerous drug classes in advance respectively; Even also can automatically carry out the selection of object and the convenience of on-off action with manual taking-up, thereby produce the demand of hoping enlarging application range, for example to both comprising that the high drug class of frequency of utilization comprises that also the multiple drug class of the drug class that frequency of utilization is low handles.

Like this, reduce in order to realize cost, shortening the driving distance of opening driver train is a shortcut, like this, can wait with for example bulk article and cheap electro-motor or cam to constitute out driver train.

And; After opening the driving reduced distances of actuating device; Take out the work that starts of object, even if the advancing of accommodating container in just taking in as the drug class of object can automatically carry out, but that its accommodating container also cannot say for sure is enough eye-catching; Thereby also needing to use simultaneously the guide of taking out object's position to show, the cost increase that brings has thus been offset the cost of opening driver train and has been descended.

Show for the guide of taking out object's position; Also having through the shared luminous component of arranging in length and breadth makes the necessary number of luminous component lack the way (for example referenced patent document 6 Figure 11) that realizes that cost reduces than accommodating container; In method in the past, accommodating container is not luminous respectively yet.

On the other hand; Have under the situation about disposing one to one (for example Fig. 5 of referenced patent document 6 or patent documentation 7) with the luminous component of accommodating container same number and with accommodating container; Because accommodating container is luminous respectively, though visual higher, but be difficult to cost-cutting.

Therefore; The technical task of drug class accommodation device is; Carry out following improvement for the cost that reduces the drug class accommodation device: when the driving distance of actuating device is opened in shortening; The number that suppresses luminous component is less than accommodating container, even and utilize to shorten and drive distance and also can keep advancing automatically of accommodating container, even and the luminous component number also can make accommodating container luminous respectively less.

Yet in sweeping hospital or pharmacy, according to being set up in parallel various compounding machines, the manual simultaneously mode of collecting required medicament or connecting various conveying mechanisms is constructed the adjustment system.

But, because the kind of medicament is huge, much less tablet only PTP packing medicament just surpass thousands of kinds, will make cost burden excessive so the PTP packing medicament of all kinds is loaded into automatic PTP distribution device.Therefore, the high PTP of frequency of utilization packing medicament be loaded in such as patent documentation 2 in the operatorless device the record, still, the multiple non-loading PTP of unloaded in this operatorless device packs medicament and is incorporated on the manually operated Drug shelf etc.This situation is present in the PTP packing medicament that frequency of utilization is high too and is loaded in the occasion in the semi-automatic drug class accommodation device of being put down in writing like patent documentation 5.

Therefore; First technical task of PTP distribution system does; Make to load and share, reduce the cost of arbitrary device simultaneously, in limited budget, PTP packing medicament as much as possible is loaded on the compounding machine to automatic PTP distribution device and semi-automatic drug class accommodation device.

In a this PTP distribution system; Through being set up in parallel automatic PTP distribution device and semi-automatic drug class accommodation device, can the loading that PTP packs medicament be shared to two devices, and for the box of PTP distribution device; The permutation of carrying out PTP packing medicament through vibration keeps, permutation is advanced, and box is discharged successively; Even on each box, the weighing parts are not set thus and force application part is also passable, thus can mechanism be become simple, and can cost-cutting.In addition,, utilize advancing automatically of accommodating container, make each accommodating container luminous than the light parts that send that accommodating container lacks through quantity for the drug class accommodation device, thus can be under the situation of not losing convenience cost-cutting.

Therefore, according to a PTP distribution system, can solve the first above-mentioned technical task.

In addition; In the 2nd PTP distribution system; Through being set up in parallel automatic PTP distribution device and semi-automatic drug class accommodation device; Can the loading that PTP packs medicament be shared to two devices, and the PTP packing medicament that distributes automatically from the PTP distribution device further automatically is transplanted on through conveying mechanism and falls into the space and place on the weighing meter.In addition, the PTP packing medicament that semi-automatically distributes from the drug class accommodation device, when confirm that the back slides and move to when falling into the space on operation post, also places on the weighing meter on operation post through manual arrangement.

Like this, can confirm easily and promptly that further adjust supervisoryly through visual if desired, all PTP packing medicaments that then distribute can turn back to operation post from electronic scales and supply to carry out supervisory through weighing.

Therefore; According to the 2nd PTP distribution system; Share cargo-carring automatic PTP distribution device and the coordination of semi-automatic drug class accommodation device through making; And guarantee to distribute PTP packing medicament and carry out supervisory employed operation place, the particular space at the convenience that improves this operation is provided with the weighing meter simultaneously, can solve the second above-mentioned technical task thus.

Further specify and be used to implement the PTP distribution device of the related PTP distribution system of the 6th such embodiment and some modes of drug class accommodation device.

PTP distribution device in the related PTP distribution system of the 6th embodiment can adopt following concrete formation.That is, it comprises: a plurality of boxes, can discharge medicament or the medicament of equal value that the ground permutation is taken in the PTP packing successively with it; Supporting mechanism keeps said a plurality of box side by side; The whereabouts guide member will be emitted the medicament of (the final discharge) and guided the below into from each box; Collecting mechanism is collected said medicament, it is characterized in that, said box comprises: outside plate is used to take in medicament; Upper ledge is prevented with its open fwd top and to be taken in the preceding of medicament and fall; Inner panel carries and saidly takes in medicament and the time it is advanced in vibration; Vibrating mass makes said interior panel vibration; Keep somewhere parts; Be arranged in face of the said open fwd and keep somewhere the said medicament of discharging from said open front in the medicament of taking in; Act on said indwelling parts and make and keep somewhere medicament guide member is emitted (the final discharge) towards said whereabouts actuating mechanism and each said box and be provided with accordingly; And whether the indwelling that detects said indwelling parts exist, and do not make said vibrating mass action when there being when indwelling, when existing when keeping somewhere the action of said vibrating mass stopped.

In a this PTP distribution device; When PTP being packed medicine containings such as medicament at box; If medicament is put into the medicine containing space of outside plate and on vibrating mass, is being stood and arranging, make the head of the queue of taking in medicament against upper ledge, then a plurality of medicaments can overturning-free ground permutation be taken in.In addition, if make interior panel vibration, then take in medicament and will advance by vibrating mass; Because being prevented by upper ledge, the upper end of head of the queue advances; Be closely aligned so take in medicament, when the lower end of this head of the queue is forwards released and when coming off, the medicament of head of the queue will fall to discharging from open front from inner panel.Thereupon toppling over a little forward and blocked by upper ledge in the upper end of the medicament of mentioning head of the queue again, after this bottom of this new head of the queue is forwards released and when coming off, medicament falls to discharging once more from inner panel.

Like this; PTP packing medicament etc. is taken in and is discharged successively seriatim through vibration by permutation; Concrete when realizing this box, upper ledge be set on open fwd top take in the preceding of medicament with prevention and fall, and carry the interior panel vibration of taking in medicament if make; Then taking in medicament advances to fall to discharging one by one from open front; The permutation of PTP packing medicament keeps thus, the permutation box that advances discharges successively and can carry out through vibration, even the weighing parts are not set and force application part is also passable, so mechanism becomes simple.Therefore, can realize the simple and easy vibratory delivery cassette that permutation is taken in PTP packing medicament etc. and discharged reliably from head of the queue.

In addition, in this vibratory delivery cassette, the medicament of discharging from open front is retained on the indwelling parts in front, and the discharge of next medicament is prevented when having such indwelling.In addition, when medicament disappeared from keeping somewhere parts, next medicament is discharged from and is retained in through vibration to be kept somewhere on the parts.Like this, keep somewhere on the parts, thus, take out medicament in the time of can directly taking out medicament more than the head of the queue of taking in from permutation more easily and reliably one by one through a medicament being separated from permutation is taken in and being retained in.

In addition; Also can be with this simple and can permutation take in PTP packing medicament etc. and the vibratory delivery cassette of discharging reliably one by one from its head of the queue is set up in parallel on bracing or strutting arrangement; Setting simultaneously acts on the indwelling parts of box to keep somewhere emitting/final actuating mechanism of discharging of medicament; From various medicaments, automatically distribute required medicament; And then utilize free-falling body to collect the medicament of from each box, discharging, thus can be simply and realize being suitable for taking in various PTP packing medicaments etc. at an easy rate and distribute the medicine delivering device of required medicament automatically.

In addition; The 2nd PTP distribution device in the related PTP distribution system of the 6th embodiment is the improvement of an above-mentioned PTP distribution device; Wherein, Upper ledge be formed with inner panel on the head of the queue medicament the upper end interference first bearing surface and be positioned at said first bearing surface the place ahead and below and with said indwelling parts on second bearing surface of upper end interference of indwelling medicament; Make through actuating mechanism and to keep somewhere the parts pivoted, keep somewhere parts thus and be in and keep somewhere the indwelling state of taking in the medicament medicament of discharging (walkthrough goes out) from open front or make this indwellings medicament emit the arbitrary state the state of (final discharge) to the whereabouts guide member.

In the 2nd such PTP distribution device,, make upper ledge except playing and prevent that permutation from taking in the effect of falling before the medicament through on upper ledge, forming first, second bearing surface; Also play and prevent to keep somewhere the effect of falling before the medicament; Thus, can to support the bottom of keeping somewhere medicament just enough as long as keep somewhere parts, so can be configured in face of the open fwd and be limited to the below; Even therefore keeping somewhere parts is to carry out pivotally supported parts, also can realize miniaturization.Acting on the indwelling parts like this makes its actuating mechanism that is in two states also can do enough simply.

In addition; The 3rd PTP distribution device in the related PTP distribution system of the 6th embodiment is any improvement in an above-mentioned PTP distribution device and the 2nd PTP distribution device; In order to carry out the exchange of medicament adjunctive program and box easily; Each box is a detouchable, and in order such box to be simplified and to be prevented fault, it is constructed as follows.That is, possess a certain side or both sides in the following important document, this important document is: actuating mechanism is arranged on the supporting mechanism rather than on each box; And vibration control circuit is configured on the supporting mechanism rather than on each box, this vibration control circuit makes the vibrating mass action, when having indwelling, the action of vibrating mass stopped according to the detection that has or not of keeping somewhere the indwelling medicament in the parts when not keeping somewhere.

In addition; The 4th PTP distribution device in the related PTP distribution system of the 6th embodiment is any improvement in an above-mentioned PTP distribution device to the three PTP distribution devices; Take in the adjunctive program of medicament such as PTP packing medicament for the ease of permutation and reliably and stably discharge medicament, being constructed as follows of each box from head of the queue.Promptly; Outside plate surrounds the side at least in medicine containing space; The top opening in medicine containing space is can replenish medicament; The open at its front in medicine containing space to be discharging medicament, high back low dip and remainder is low early and high after is formed obliquely before the fore-end in inner panel top, and the trip inner bottom part that is inserted in the medicine containing space divides and can be supported quiveringly.

In this case, except the front of discharging usefulness, also open can replenishing medicament above it in the medicine containing space that surrounds by outside plate, so when replenishing medicament permutation and take in medicament and can easily carry out.In addition; The inner panel trip is inserted in the inner bottom part branch in medicine containing space and takes in medicament and vibration carrying; The top major part of inner panel is low early and high after to be formed obliquely so that make during interior panel vibration and to take in medicament and advance; In inner panel top before the fore-end low dip ground formation of high back take in medicament and stably advance to prevent that the acceleration that it is unnecessary that this advances from making with constant speed; Thus, even be not provided with that weighing parts and force application part also can be kept through the permutation that PTP packing medicament is carried out in the vibration of inner panel reliably, permutation is advanced and discharge successively.

In addition, the first drug class accommodation device in the related PTP distribution system of the 6th embodiment can adopt following concrete formation.That is, it comprises: a plurality of accommodating containers, take in drug class; Storehouse portion keeps these accommodating containers to make accommodating container be in the state that can forwards pull out in length and breadth side by side; A plurality of driver trains of opening; Be arranged on the rear of each accommodating container, corresponding accommodating container advanced, wherein; The driving of opening driver train is apart from weak point; And said drug class accommodation device is provided with and send light parts (luminous component), sees the fwd light through a plurality of accommodating containers in the accommodating container that is in fallback state off, and forms or be provided with when accepting this light time of seeing off at the leading section of each accommodating container and make the visual device of this light towards the place ahead.

At this; " it is short to drive distance " is meant; When opening driver train corresponding accommodating container advanced; Its advance is that the length of fore-and-aft direction is shorter than the depth of accommodating container, and half the less than this length preferably more preferably is as short as the length of the related fore-and-aft direction of the part that is identified as leading section in the accommodating container.

In the first such drug class accommodation device; When being chosen as the accommodating container that takes out object through cooresponding when opening driver train and advancing automatically; Portion highlights the leading section of its accommodating container from the storehouse; Its leading section receives from sending the irradiation of the light that the light parts send, and this light turns to the place ahead through visual device, and is therefore luminous as the accommodating container that takes out object.Too, accommodating container was luminous respectively when other accommodating containers became the taking-up object.But; Send the light parts owing to facing shared one of the identical accommodating container that send light to dispose; Such accommodating container is can not a plurality of whiles luminous, if therefore avoid situation about must use like this, does not also have inconvenience even then send the number of light parts to lack than the number of accommodating container.

Through introducing known light guide member (referenced patent document 7), suitable reflection part, scattering part; Perhaps through the surface that forms reflecting surface or scattering surface is handled, the visual device that the change direction of light makes it to discern easily can be than sending the light parts to realize more at an easy rate.

Therefore; According to this first drug class accommodation device, when opening the driving reduced distances of driver train, can be through making each accommodating container luminous respectively with the light parts that send that lack than accommodating container; Can when keeping convenience, reduce the cost of drug class accommodation device thus.

Before the use, for drug

class accommodation device

1100,1200, in each accommodating container 1220 by kind classification and taken in drug classes such as medicine medicine, medical material.Exemplary as pharmaceuticals (referenced patent document 5) has the agent of PTP packing, ampulla, lytic agent etc., as medical material bone renovating material, operational tool etc. is for example arranged.In this PTP distribution system; At first will take care of in accommodating container 1220 respectively with the quantity of the PTP packing medicament that the loading number is identical in the PTP distribution device 1040; Then PTP distribution device 1040 non-cargo-carring PTP packing medicaments are taken care of in accommodating container 1220 respectively; Then, if remaining in addition, then other drug classes are taken care of in accommodating container 1220 respectively.

The accommodating container 1220 that drug class is taken in this classification all pushes and is inserted in each drawer frame of

storehouse portion

1114,1214, and its position is transfused in the master controller 1300 through M/C etc. and is stored in medicine main file etc.Thus, being ready to complete of drug class accommodation device 1100, drug class accommodation device 1200, at this stage (with reference to Figure 34 (b), Figure 35 (a), Figure 35 (e)), because accommodating container 1220 all is in fallback state and closes, so which is not luminous.

Representative type PTP packing medicament (medicament 1020) is provided with the rectangular plate shape (with reference to Figure 39 (a)) of the teat that medicine containing uses for the smooth one side row of one side; It is of a size of: the tens of millimeters of width; 100 millimeters of length; Thickness number millimeter, representative type weight/mass are tens of milligrams～100 milligrams.

Even using and also will prepare before the modulation automatically, in PTP distribution device 1040, above-mentioned PTP packing medicament is installed and do not cut into pieces as medicament 1020 former states ground for PTP distribution device 1040.The medicament 1020 that frequency of utilization is high is preferentially installed.When mounted, sylphon 1010 takes off from support component 1043, with manual operations additional medicament 1020 above open, and it is put back into (with reference to Figure 37) on the support component 1043.

Carrying out this when additional (with reference to Figure 39 (b)), the pros and cons that in the medicine containing space of box 1010, makes medicament 1020 is arranged and the fore-and-aft direction of medicament 1020 at box is formed a line towards equidirectional.

Specifically, medicament 1020 is accommodated in the medicine containing space in the outside plate 1011 from head of the queue permutation successively, and at this moment, arbitrary medicament 1020 all can stand on the vibrating mass 1015 after putting into the medicine containing space.The first bearing surface 1012a that this is taken in before the head of the queue of medicament hectare and the upper end leans against upper ledge 1012 goes up so that it is not translated into.Follow-up medicament 1020 and its dependence.If they are all overturning-free, then for example the situation that leans forward and medicament 1020 gap each other of each medicament 1020 change more or less that also it doesn't matter to the permutation state.

In addition, when this box 1010 is installed in 1043 last times of support component, box 1010 moves partly.

Specifically, vibration control circuit 1052, vibrating mass 1015, discharge detection part 1016 and connect, carry out through vibration control circuit 1052 based on the vibration control of the vibrating mass 1015 of the detection of discharging detection part 1016 through connector portion 1051.If like this; Because in keeping somewhere parts 1018, still there is not medicament 1020, thereby inner panel 1013 vibrations, thus; Friction force diminishes; By will be above friction force with the thrust that component produced of the cooresponding gravity that tilts, thereby the medicament 1020 on the low early and high after rake 1013a of inner panel 1013 advances gradually, and the medicament 1020 of head of the queue advances to low early and high after rake 1013a and the preceding high intersection of the low dip 1013b of portion afterwards; Because follow-up medicament 20 tightens neutrals, thus take in medicament 20 well permutation in the medicine containing space.

Because vibration is also proceeded under this state; Ahead power acts on takes in medicament 1020; Thereby the medicament 1020 of the head of the queue that advances is prevented in the upper end by upper ledge 1012; The high back low dip 1013b of portion before cross its bottom and break away from inner panel 1013, and fall down towards open front (with reference to Figure 39 (c)).In addition, because of deadweight is dropped from outside plate 1011 and upper ledge 1012, the lower end place keep somewhere parts 1018 up recess and caught, the upper end is blocked by the second bearing surface 1012b of upper ledge 1012, thereby is retained in (with reference to Figure 40 (a)) here.Meanwhile; On the inner panel 1013 that the medicament 1020 of head of the queue drops; The upper end of next medicament 1020 is against the first bearing surface 1012a of upper ledge 1012, and the bottom of this medicament 1020 advances to the intersection of low early and high after rake 1013a and the preceding high back low dip 1013b of portion.

In addition; Get into the detection range of discharging detection part 1016 owing to move to the medicament 1020 of keeping somewhere parts 1018; Thereby the detection output of discharging detection part 1016 do not have indwelling from having to keep somewhere to become, and in view of the above, vibration control circuit 1052 stops the vibration of vibrating mass 1015; Thereby inner panel 1013 is static, and this state is held.

Being retained in the indwelling parts 1018 of keeping somewhere parts 1018 separates from the permutation state; Temporarily remained on individually and kept somewhere on the parts 1018; Owing to free the pressure of the medicament 1020 of this medicament permutation from inner panel 1013 and the friction force that causes by this pressure, so be in the state that to stablize and promptly to emit one by one.

As stated; The use of PTP distribution system is ready to complete; Under this state, when prescription forms data or the designation data of adjusting arrive master controller 1300 through communication or manual operation, master controller therefrom extract drug code and prescription number value etc. with it as the drug class distributed intelligence.And, according to this drug class distributed intelligence, carry out the retrieval of medicine main file etc. through master controller 1300; If there is the medicament that distributes automatically by PTP distribution device 1040; Then at first select this medicament, can not select or have under the situation of the remainder, if there is the drug class that distributes by drug

class accommodation device

1100,1200 S. A.s; Then select this drug class, and on telltale 1150, show each quantity allotted.

In addition, for PTP distribution device 1040, when any box 1010 is selected as medicament discharge object through master controller 1300, send the discharge instruction to corresponding vibration control circuit 1052 from master controller 1300.Like this, electromagnetic component 1053 moves according to the control of this vibration control circuit 1052, and hook 1054 is retreated with these advance and retreat parts, accompanies therewith, and the crook of hook 1054 makes keeps somewhere parts 1018 pivots rotations (with reference to Figure 40 (b)).Because this pivot rotation and get into (with reference to Figure 40 (c)) when emitting state from the indwelling state, the medicament of being kept somewhere 1020 is from keeping somewhere parts 1018 landings when keeping somewhere parts 1018, and row is in whereabouts guiding tube 1042.

From medicament 1020 (with reference to Figure 36 (a) and (b)) free fall the guiding tube of whereabouts that box 1010 is emitted, collect through collecting mechanism 1044, be transported to distribution openings 1046 through conveying mechanism 1045.Thus, can be assigned with automatically to the medicament 1020 of whereabouts guiding tube 1042 from required box 1010 rows.In the box 1010 of discharging medicament 1020; Being retained in the medicament 1020 of keeping somewhere parts 1018 disappears; The number of taking in medicament 1020 has reduced one, owing to turn back to the state (with reference to Figure 41 (a)) after medicament replenishes, begins again from the vibration of inner panel 1013; Next medicament 1020 is discharged from the open front of outside plate 1011, and is retained on the indwelling parts 1018 (with reference to Figure 41 (b)).

Such action is being emitted/is being carried out repeatedly when finally discharging medicament 1020 from keeping somewhere parts 1018 at every turn, thereby in this vibratory delivery cassette 1010, PTP packing medicament 1020 can be discharged rapidly and reliably by a plate one plate automatically.In addition, in PTP distribution device 1040, can take in various PTP packing medicaments 1020, and from wherein distributing required medicament automatically.

The medicament 1020 that is distributed by PTP distribution device 1040 moves on the conveying mechanism 1160 of drug class accommodation device 1100 through distribution openings 1046 and income mouthfuls 1118, is transported to discharge port 1117 through conveying mechanism 1160, and then sends into and fall into space 1116.Herein, place the scale pan of weighing meter 1170 to carry out weighing.

On the other hand, meanwhile or individually, the drug class that also can select drug

class accommodation device

1100,1200 according to above-mentioned drug class distributed intelligence by master controller 1300 is as distributing object/taking-up object.In this case, the accommodating container 1220 of the drug class of distribution object/taking-up object is taken in selection, and the driver train 1230～1233 of opening at its rear is moved.Like this, forwards released and open by eccentric cam 1232 as the accommodating container 1220 of object.In addition, the light parts 1213 that send of top are lighted.

Under this state (with reference to Figure 34 (c), Figure 35 (b), (f)); As the leading section of the accommodating container 1220 of object from the

storehouse portion

1114,1214 outstanding; The illumination of sending light parts 1213 to send is mapped on the dip plane 1222 as the accommodating container 1020 of object; Send specular scattering light A from here towards the place ahead, thus luminous and seen as the accommodating container of object 1220.Like this, come into plain view as the accommodating container that takes out object 1220, opening, thereby operator simultaneously places finger from this opening on the header board 1221 of accommodating container 1220 and pulls out accommodating container 1220.So, take out required drug class, push back accommodating container 1220 then and it is closed, distribute input that operation accomplishes to stay the operation resume to master controller 1300 simultaneously.

Like this, can carry out easily and promptly about the distribution of the handwork that under blocked state, is accommodated in the various drug classes in the drug

class accommodation device

1100,1200 respectively.Because taking out is handwork, even thereby aequum be the remainder, also can only take out the amount of needs according to the guiding of telltale 1150.In addition, be handwork, carry out automatically owing to take out the selection and the forward motion of object, thereby be so-called S. A. although take out, thus can be easily and distribute required medicament reliably.In addition; As stated; Open the simple structure of driver train 1230～1233 for combining by motor 1230 and eccentric cam 1232; The number of the sending light parts 1213 also columns with the drawer frame of

storehouse portion

1114,1214 is identical, lacks than the number of accommodating container 1220, so drug

class accommodation device

1100,1200 can be made at an easy rate.

The drug class that is distributed by drug

class accommodation device

1100,1200 is presented on the operation post 1115 through the operator, confirm medicament kind and number after, slip on operation post 1115 and falling in the space 1116.This place, place on the scale pan of weighing meter 1170, with medicament 1020 together by weighing.This weighing value is shown can see insight by weighing meter 1170; Report to master controller 1300 from weighing meter 1170 through signal or communication simultaneously; According to medicament unit weight value in the medicine main file etc., it is converted into the medicament number by master controller 1300, is used for then checking with prescription number; On telltale 1150, for example show OK when consistent, on telltale 1150, for example show NG when inconsistent.

The operator can judge the demonstration of the allotment of demonstration and each device on one side with reference to this; From weighing meter 1170 medicament 1020 and drug class are moved on on the operation post 1115 on one side; And adjust supervisoryly, thus, no matter be that prescription work or supervisory operation all can easily be carried out.

Like this, in this PTP distribution system, can adjust expeditiously with supervisory to a lot of PTP packing medicaments with rational expense.
